“Cydfin Farm or Ty Mawr Farm, (107 a.)”

“Ty Mawr Farm otherwise Ked Fen Farm (126 a.)”
14 Oct 1806 catalogue
NLW Lockwood estate records D 1/104, catalogue of articles of agreement for an exchange between Mark Wood and the Marquess of Bute
The words are the cataloguer’s; the agreement itself is unread. It belongs to a Bute exchange, so it is tested here rather than counted as a record mention of Tŷ Mawr. The acreage (126 a.) differs from the 1824 survey. Under forensic examination; not a record of Tŷ Mawr (first named in the 1824 David Stewart survey, EV-0211).
“Ty Mawr Farm or Red Fen Farm (126 a.)”
1807 catalogue
NLW Bute Estate Records D 205/6–7, catalogue of the completed exchange
Same exchange as Lockwood D 1/104 read by a different cataloguer: “Ked Fen” in one, “Red Fen” in the other (a capital K and R are easily confused in a cursive hand). The originals have not been compared. Under forensic examination; not a record of Tŷ Mawr (first named in the 1824 David Stewart survey, EV-0211).
“Cydfin”
Bute catalogue range; not a Tŷ Mawr date catalogue
National Library of Wales, Bute Estate Records D219 catalogue (Llandough manorial leases, 1552–1824) Source page
Within the catalogue heading “Cydfin Farm or Ty Mawr Farm, (107 a.)”: the cataloguer’s words; the leases are unread. Application and dating under forensic examination; Tŷ Mawr is first named in the 1824 David Stewart survey (EV-0211).
“Red Fen (Cedfin)”

“Red Fen”: NLW Bute Estate Records D 205/6–7, catalogue of the completed exchange (“Ty Mawr Farm or Red Fen Farm (126 a.)”); “Cedfin” in brackets is the correspondence’s gloss from the 1824 survey (EV-0211)
The cataloguer’s reading; the deed is unread. Under forensic examination.
