Just wondering if anyone knows what would be generally recorded in estate management records, is it just a list of names and rent paid? I've located some records for the Glenhafren estate that seems to cover an ancestor, but they're in East Riding of Yorkshire and they've quoted quite a large amount to copy them (I couldn't really visit there any time soon, I live in Ireland).
I've an ancestor, Richard Jones who was farming in Nantgwylt (spelling varies), Llanllugan on 1851-1881 censuses, which I've been trying to figure out for some time. He's listed as around being born 1810-1811 in Llanwyddelan (his father on his marriage record was also Richard Jones), of which there is a baptism record in 1813 as illegitimate child of Richard Jones and Mary James. There's also though a Richard Jones baptism that same year in Llanllugan to a Richard Jones and Mary Jones also illegimate, but they later married and lived in Llanwyddelan with their children being baptised there too. So if he was brought up by them, he could possibly say he was born in Llanwyddelan.
The stranger things though are there's 2 later baptisms (both illegimate) in Llanwyddelan for Richard Jones and Mary James that both list a location of Trawsgelli around the same time as a Richard Jones and Jane Whiticas were married and were having children baptised at Trawsgelli, they're on the 1841 census there.
Just to confuse matters at Nantgwylt in 1841 there's a Richard Jones who was born in Llanllugan (living elsewhere in 1851 with his birthplace listed) living there who married an Elizabeth Whiticas.
