Pant Lodge Llanfair PG

[dtlroots]

A certificate, from 1888, shows my great grandmother's occupation as 'Domestic Servant of Pant Lodge Llanfair PG'.

I have found the location on an old online map. It looks like a small settlement with a few buildings.

Does anybody know whether 'Pant Lodge' was some kind of grand home for the great and good at this time, or was it always just a small settlement of houses.

Clearly someone must have lived there who could afford at least one servant.

Pant Lodge was a farm. One servant there on the 1891 census.

Wow! Just seen all the replies at once.
Thanks so much to you all.

I did try to find the place on the 1891 census but failed dismally (my ancestor was not living there by then).

She was actually a Thomas, and I am pretty sure she would have left Pant Lodge in 1888.

Thanks again.

She was actually a Thomas, and I am pretty sure she would have left Pant Lodge in 1888.

The servant in 1891 was a Maggie Thomas aged 18 from Anglesey. The farmer was John Jones. He and his family were also from Anglesey.
