The National Archives entry (docs. held at the British Library) has a bit more detail (eg "88 volumes"!)

Hello hanes teulu,

Thank you for asking. The source comes from my late grandmother. Regrettably, when I wrote it down about ten years ago, I never asked anything more.

Thank you too for the National Archives links - I was not aware that you could search those records so freely online.
