Any idea who's listed in 1851?
I do remember my father telling me that his grandfather used to be great
friends with the Drovers Arms. They used to be in the habit of leaving
messages under a stone half way between Gwebedog & the Drovers.
I'm not sure though whether this would have been in the days of Clement
Pritchard (who's daughter he married) or the later occupiers.

Hi listers,
Here is a little bit more info on Drovers Arms. I intend to give a daily
bulletin of info (or trivia to anyone who isn't interested HA! HA!)
since listers are more likely to read this if it isn't too long! It also
fills up what can be lean months for family historians!
So here we go
If anyone tried to find Drovers Arms in 1851, they would not have found the
name Drovers Arms, instead there is an entry "Tynmynydd". This is the
alternative name, meaning "house in the mountain". In fact, this was the
name by which my family always refered to my family at Drovers Arms. Instead
of saying, for example, "Granny Drovers Arms" about my Great Grandmother, we
would say "Granny Tymynydd"! Andrew, were you aware of this alternative
name?
More info tomorrow!!
All the best to all,
Hilary
