Kissed Frogs

Leads retained as in scope or potentially in scope — not “kissed frogs”

• 1881 “Llandough Home Farm” (EV-0224): in scope. The census label. Directories put the same John Williams at “Great house” 1868–1901 (EV-0225). No other source uses “Home Farm”, and the census label is not added to the property’s names.
• 1824 DB/E/1 plan 19, “Cedfin or Ty Mawr Farm” (EV-0211): relevant to identity, survey extent and mapping; the present transcription of 139a 3r 8p and the name “John Gedrick” remain provisional. It does not prove a later lease or freehold. The same plan shows Llandough Farm as a separate place (KF-35).
• 1872–1876 Llandough poor-rate books (EV-0212): potentially important because the provisional read shows John Williams rated for a farm under Lord Bute and Daniel Thomas & Son for a lime kiln/quarry. The volume reference, row alignment and link to Tŷ Mawr must be checked.
• Reported Bute–Thomas arrangement and reported John Williams lease (EV-0006; EV-0008): core unresolved leads for the 1877 transaction. The original and matching plan remain unlocated; do not substitute a Cardiff lease.
• 1983 registration files and the 1987 title-file amalgamation: core title and public-administration evidence. Obtain the actual applications, supporting instruments, plans, correspondence and scope of the register change before asserting an error, concealment or knowledge.
• 1987 Llandough Community Council minutes (EV-0214): retain under the public-authority track for the recorded right-of-way, VG41 and BP-agent discussion. They do not by themselves prove ownership, the content of legal advice, or a wrongful act.
