Family and estate papers of Edward and David Theophilus of Wernfach, being material relating to properties in p. Llanrhystud owned or occupied successively by several interrelated families, notably Evans, Williams and Cruickshank. The properties are Blaenyresgair, Lluest y Conscience (formerly known as Llain y Gwen Sians and Lluest y Gron Sians), Tryal (also spelt Trial, Treal, Trual), Tyn y Clawdd (formerly known as Ty’r Treflick and Twy-yn-y-clawdd), and Wernfach (also known as Wernnewydd). It appears that the properties’ last owners (and Roberts & Evans’s clients) were Edward and David Theophilus of Wernfach, who were also related to the previous owners and/or tenants. Thomas Johnes of Hafod had been the owner (but not the occupier) of some of these lands, and is a party to several of the earlier transactions recorded in these deeds.

Papers of Rev. Peter Felix (d. 1 Feb. 1861), vicar of Llanilar, and members of his family, including his wife Elizabeth Felix (d. 27 Oct. 1864), his parents Rev. David Felix of p. Chelsea St Luke, co. Mddx (fl. 1816-1834) and Mary Felix (d. 21 Jan. 1838), his brothers Morgan Felix (fl. 1830-1837) and Rev. John Felix of Llanilar (d. 27 Oct. 1864), and his nephew Rev. Hugh Felix, incumbent of Llanwenog and Llanybydder (fl. 1855-1867). It is not obvious that Peter Felix was Roberts & Evans’s client; it is perhaps more likely that these are part of the papers of George Williams Parry of Llidiardau, esq., executor of Peter Felix’s will, and a known client of Roberts & Evans. Most of the papers relate to Felix family affairs and Llanilar parochial affairs, Peter Felix being vicar of Llanilar from 1830; also papers relating to p. Easton Neston, co. Northants, of which Peter Felix was vicar from 1825, including the hamlet of Hulcote.
