Dear Iolo,
The willperf data comes from JE Griffiths as I am sure that you know. I am
not sure what the other website you mention is based on.
I remember reading in one of the "Gwynedd Roots" back issues about Merioneth
records in the late mediaeval period that the author had some queries
regarding interpretation of abbreviations and was told by the archivist that
"as you're the one looking at this, you're the expert at the moment!"
I think that this frame of mind is useful to all of us... to ask what we're
looking at, how it may have been influenced and what the evidence is that
any ssertion is based on. Both sources may turn out to be wrong in some
way.
Unless anyone else on the list is looking at this specific question (which
obviously we all hope when we post queries), I am afraid that - to borrow
from this other person - you are the expert!
Not what you wanted, I know!
Yours,
Ian
