[generalNote]: Hanes gweinyddol / Braslun bywgraffyddol | Administrative history | Biographical sketch Nodyn | Note Robert Henry Gough Smallwood (1864-1943), antiquary, local historian and an authority on shorthand, was born at Burslem, Staffordshire, but spent most of his life in the Wrexham area, having married Mary Pritchard of Gresford, Denbighshire, in 1893. His interests were numerous and wide-ranging, but (in his own words) concentrated on 'old deeds, numismatics, local history (chiefly the personal side) and shorthand'. Smallwood was a member of several genealogical, antiquarian and archaeological societies, and assisted Alfred Neobald Palmer (1847-1915) in his historical studies of Wrexham and its neighbourhood. He also published a number of articles on the history of freemasonry and shorthand, and collected a considerable amount of material during the course of his research.
