I'm looking to find a manservant ( not sure what years!) but hazard a guess 1840>>by the name of OKO JUMBO PRATT who was living with a  Griffith Thomas Picton Jones (son of Griffith Thomas Picton Jones!), solicitor and five-time mayor of Pwllheli, They lived at Yoke House, about a mile outside central Pwllheli,

If anyone has come across him, please let me know!!

Many thanks
