Deeds and Miscellaneous Papers This group consists of nearly 900 documents ranging in date from 1705 to c.1967. Some, such as those items relating to the Child and Hook-Child families fell naturally into groups, but the overall classification scheme within this group has been devised by the Record Office to bring order to an otherwise undifferentiated mass of papers. The classification is as follows: Deeds and documents of the Child and Hook Child family 1745 - 1967 1-153 This collection relates principally to those parts of the Child family estate in St Issells, including the Bonvilles Court estate and colliery and other properties, althougth there are also deeds and papers relating to properties in Begelly, Ludchurch and Tenby. James Mark Child (died 10/12/1870), who was the son of James and Sarah Child, devised all his freehold estate to trustees for Albert Theodore Hook alias Child, son of Mary Hook of Begelly Lodge. Albert Hook then adopted the additional surname of Child and the family were afterwards called Hook Child, either or without a hyphen. It appears that part of the estate, including Begelly House, passed to James Mark Child's legitimate son, James Mark Philipps Child, who died without children on 13/05/1877 The collection is arranged as follows Title deeds and related papers 1745 - 1863 1-42 Begelly 1-13 Estates in Begelly tranferred by Lord Milford to Sarah Child 2 - 12 St Issells 14 - 34 Bonvilles Court 14 - 20 Stone Cross and Killawen 21 - 32 Newton and part of Kilvelgy 33 - 34 Tenby 35 - 42 Milford House 35 - 41 Miscellaneous 42 Wills, settlements 1793 - 1939 43 - 66 James Mark Philipps Child 44 - 49 Mortgages etc. by the Hook Child family 1881 - 1941 67 - 106 Leases 1797 - 1938 107 - 136 Carmarthenshire 107 Begelly 108 - 111 St Isells 112 - 133 Tenby 134 - 136 Miscellaneous 1835 - 1967 137 - 153 Note there are files relating to the Hook Child estate in the series of numbered files (PEH/1) Papers relating to Charles Hugh Allen of Robeston Hall 1884 - 1895 154 - 159 Papers relating to John Davies, of Jordanston and John Llewellyn of Hazel Hill 1857 - 1945 160 - 182 Papers relating to Essex Harries of Scolton 1857 - 1896 183 -190 Papers relating to John Madocks of Haverfordwest 1819 - 1887 191 - 233 191 - 225 Deeds of premises in Prendergast and Haverfordwest 216 - 221 Title Deeds and related papers regarding Langhook Fach in Little Newcastle and Castlebythe 222 - 223 John Madocks - Miscellaneous Papers relating to C H J Talmage and the Johnston Brick and Tile Company 234 - 269 1918 - 1967 Miscellaneous title deeds, arranged alphabetically by parish c.1708 - 1937 270 - 476 Ambleston 270 - 296 Stradland 270 - 294 Begelly 297 Camrose 298 - 306 Corners 298 - 306 Fishguard 307 - 308 Freystrop 309 - 310 Haroldston West 311 - 339 Rosehill 311 - 339 Haverfordwest 340 - 397 Hubberston 398 - 400 Lambston 401 - 402 Letterston 403 - 408 Llandilo 409 - 410 Llanfairnantygof 411 Llanfyrnach 412 - 414 Llangwm 415 - 418 Llawhaden 419 Marloes 420 Marthry 421 - 422 Milford 423 - 426 Neyland 427 - 455 Nolton 446 Prendergast 447 - 451 Rudbaxton 452 St Brides 453 - 454 St Davids 455 St Ishmaels 456 - 457 St Issells 458 Walton West 459 - 463 Whitchurch 464 - 471 Wiston 472 Carmarthenshire 473 - 475 Glamorganshire 476 Deeds and papers relating to settlements and trusts, arranged 477 - 593 chronologically 1705 - 1943 Vaillant Family 506 - 525 Unexecuted 568 - 593 Papers relating to business partnerships, arranged in chronological 594 - 659 order (Note this class includes several deeds and drafts relating to the partnerships of Sir William Davies) 1815 - 1966 Goldfinger Cafe, 18 Hill Street, Haverfordwest 654 - 659 Papers relating to various financial transactions, principally loans and 660 - 756 debts arranged chronologically 1781 - 1903 Miscellaneous papers: this class includes a large number of writs relating 757 - 872 to William Rees' practice 1823 - 1975 757 - 804 Writs and related papers Among the records received was a large bundle of documents which consisted mainly of writs but included a number of related papers such as records of particular cases, which give detail, of the progress of the case up to the time of delivery of the writ, and certificates of service of writs. From 1823 to about 1848 the writs appear to relate almost exclusively to the activities of William Rees as attorney either for the plaintiff or defendant; from 1850 onwards they related mainly to Messrs Rees and Davies, but also include a number relating to William John of Haverfordwest
