Caernarfon 1994 This collection reflects the many and varied interests of J.E. Greaves. The family were well-known members of the

Caernarfonshire gentry. John Whitehead Greaves, J.E. Greaves1 father was involved in the exploitation of slate mines and quarries around Ffestiniog through his company, J.W. Greaves and Son, Porthmadog, in which he was followed by his son. John Greaves was a considerable landowner in his own right, with a large estate at Glangwna as well as property at Bron Eifion, Criccieth. From 1910 he also had considerable investments in Canadian developments.

Before succeeding to the Lieutenancy on the death of the previous incumbent, the first Lord Penrhyn, in 1886, John Greaves had served as High Sheriff in both Merioneth and Caernarfonshire, and as Deputy Lieutenant for Merioneth. As Lord-Lieutenant of Caernarfonshire it was his duty to act for the Crown in the County, corresponding frequently with Buckingham Palace and representing the Crown on ceremonial occasions. His position also called for him to chair the Advisory Committee, which was responsible for the nomination and recommendation of Justices of the Peace. He held other positions by virtue of his lieutenancy, one being the Presidency of the North Wales branch of the NSPCC. From 1890 John Greaves also acted as Chairman of Quarter Sessions. He was an Alderman of Caernarfon County Council until 1933, and sat on numerous committees, including the Wild Birds Protection Committee. He had a particular interest in the promotion of higher nursing standards, and was involved in the Caernarfon Cottage Hospital. He sat on the Council of the Queen Victoria's Jubilee Institute for Nursing from 1898, and was chairman of the North Wales Nursing Association, founded 1908, until 1927. He was married to Marianne Steadman for nearly sixty years, from 1875 until her death in October 1934. They had one daughter, Dorothy, who was the wife of Colonel Godfrey Drage.

Records of the Lieutenancy, being records of the personal representative of the Crown in the county, are not Public Records. However, records which are related to the Advisory Committee are defined as Public Records since they are the records of part of the process of appointing Justices of the Peace which is the responsibility of the Lord Chancellor. Records of the Advisory Committee are closed under the Public Record Act 1958 for a period of 75 years from creation. However, the Principal Archivist has been given the discretion to allow access to later records in exceptional circumstances. CONTENTS
