Hi Trot,
Rol
How or where would i find that info?
To see the National Library of Wales Journal article, I think you would need to visit a library that has a physical copy -- the Welsh Journals Online project (part sponsored by the NLW) have the NLWJ on their planned digitisation list but they seem to be making only slow progress; and there does not appear to be even partial availability via Google Books. So a free read on the internet would only be a possibility if you have sponsored access to a subscription service (e.g. one of those the NLW lets you use if you have a library card). Worth ringing your nearest main county reference library to ask; or you could have a photocopy made and sent to you, to save the journey. In any event, although Cledwyn Fychan's piece is very interesting background material, it will give you nothing of direct relevance to the family renting Pandy Bryn y Barcut, beyond the key clue and references about the Chancery depositions (as already posted).
To see the original witness depositions in the Garthewin papers you would realistically need to make the trip to Bangor and look through the documents in person. The staff are very helpful there (anyway certainly were when Tomos Roberts was in charge), but it would probably be pushing your luck to ask them to scan through on your behalf looking for references to the Pandy tenants; and ordering full copy sets would be quite a gamble -- and probably a pretty expensive one.
Here are a couple of web-links:
1. The visitor info screen for Bangor University Library's Archives Dept. --
http://www.bangor.ac.uk/archives/visitor.php.en?menu=2&catid=3587&subid=02. Description of the Garthewin collection on the Archives Wales site --
http://www.archiveswales.org.uk/anw/get_collection.php?coll_id=10531&inst_id=39&term=Garthewin [If this later becomes a dead temporary search address, you should get to the same place by using their main search screen (
http://www.archiveswales.org.uk/anw/advanced_search.php ) and tapping Garthewin into the search line and selecting Bangor University from the "repository" drop-down menu.]
If I were you I would not want to make a special one-purpose trip to Bangor to try my luck with the thrills, spills and "local colour" that might turn up in a law suit,
unless I was fairly confident that the family really were living at or very near Pandy Bryn y Barcut prior to the last quarter of the 18th c. (Of course, if you have a reason for being at Bangor anyway, no harm in giving it a whirl "blind" . . . ).
From your posts to date I am not quite sure what the nature and reliability is of the very earliest evidence you possess to connect the Edwardses with the fulling mill in the 1700s. I know you are hoping someone on RootsChat can help by hunting out some PR entries for you, presumably events at either Llangerniw or Llanfair Talhaearn (sorry -- no easy access to those CFHS transcripts myself); but I suspect that it would assist such potential helpers if you could be a bit more specific about the oldest sources you have already found.
