Poole Hughes Family Papers

Letters and papers 1834-1990, of and relating to the Poole Hughes family of Cardiganshire and Carmarthenshire. The papers comprise letters and correspondence, printed matter, pedigrees, certificates, some photographs, deeds and other historical documents. Accumulated originally by the Rev. Canon W. W. Poole Hughes (1865-1928), warden at Llandovery College and later by his wife Bertha Cecil (nee Rhys), 1877-1962. Some later items were added by their daughter Esther.

The collection has been arranged as follows: Rev. W. W. Poole Hughes family papers; Family correspondence, 1911-1935; Letters and correspondence with extended family and associates, 1921-1931; Letters of condolence, 1928; Diaries of John Richard Worthington Poole-Hughes, 1916-1998; and War correspondence and cuttings, 1927-1990.

The other groups (NLW ex 2955-2959) origin is less certain, but possibly a later acquisition from the same source. A number of the letters had been removed from their envelopes prior to their deposit at the Library.
