A 24 CHURCH ST., BEAUMARIS A THEULU RECORDS OF RICHARD JONES, CURRIER, 38 CASTLE ST. AND 24 CHURCH ST., BEAUMARIS AND FAMILY Marc Catalog WD/22 Reference Number Catalogiwyd gan Archifydd y Sir Anne Venables Catalogued by County Archivist Archifdy Ynys Mon Anglesey County Record Office 2007 Papers of Richard Jones, (C.1860S-1920S), currier, 24 Church St., and 38 Castle St., Beaumaris. All these papers were found at 24 Church St. and many were decayed and dirty when deposited. Richard Jones appeared not to have thrown away most of his papers and to have kept draft of many of his letters. Unfortunately the papers were very mixed up and therefore the arrangement, mainly by subject is artificial. The papers include earlier records of his family and in particular his mother Ann and his wife Ellen/Nellie and his children Griff, Dorothy/Dolly and Myfanwy/Myfi. Many records are of the properties which Ann and Richard rented out to visitors in Beaumaris and to tenants mainly in Beaumaris, Bangor and Llanfairfechan. Richard Jones was on Beaumaris Town Council and involved in many Beaumaris societies, including being honorary secretary etc. of some. The records also include those of the currier business of Richard Jones and other family businesses of Griffith Jones, grocer and leather dealer, Griffith Price Jones, grocer and currier; Griffith Jones, tanner, currier, general and leather merchant and Dr Evans. Papers of Richard Jones and family, currier, 38 Castle St. and 24 Church St., Beaumaris [Most documents damaged by damp and dirt] [Richard/R. Jones is Richard Jones, Beaumaris unless otherwise stated. Some span generations and have been impossible to separate.
