There are pictures on this site as well. Our oldies lived at Tyddyn Leci in lLanfaelog, so found this in research.

p.s. Thomas Chambers was never a pauper and on the cenus showd him as employing men, so don't know where they got that from.

hi Skewbald
I noted your comment, about Thomas Chambers, where on p72 in my first book 'Rhosneigr Then and Now' I have written "In 1857 one Thomas Chambers, a pauper, is recorded as living at Tyddyn Leci in the parish of Llanfaelog."
This research was carried out during 1988 and 1989 - way before ancestry.co.uk, the internet and google - and all of my research was carried out either in Libraries, or by interviews with a lot of 'old people'.
According to what remains of my records, which I have to confess are now pretty much broken up and now so very sketchy (and my original typed documents with references were on a very old word processor that is now defuct) it seems that the information probably came from the land Tax records (which would have been stored at the Archives in llangefni).
I have had a quick look through the early voters and land tax records in my posession, and can only see Chambers in 1819 and 1924 (not in any of the part-complete 1832 or 1885 lists I have).
1819 (land tax record) - at Pant y Brandy are Richard Chambers, Mary C, Ritchard C and Owen C.
1832,1889,1919, voters lists, none spotted
1924 (voters) Emma Chambers at 'Sandona'.
1929 none
1934 none
I'm afraid after all this time, that's the best answer I can give you.

Hi Tim, I'm sorry if you thought I was picking fault, as I wasn't. I know how hard research can be, and as you say especially before Ancestry etc.
Thomas though according family records was never poor and retired to Everton to live with his son William by the 1871 census.
We did get to speak to William Williams a local historian a couple of years ago and he told us that Tyddyn Leci was somewhere behind the old school, but we've never managed to find a picture or map showing it.
We did find your online book very informative and interesting though.
Thank you for looking anyway, but our main line back all seems to have left the Island for Cheshire and Lancashire around the 1860's
