Regards Rhydian ------------------ Sion Buckler Jun 13 2026, 03:25AM via Email Mr Davies / Reading Rooms Team, Thank you for your response and the guidance provided. I would be grateful if you could clarify, from your catalogue and holdings, which specific Bute Estate classmarks or reference numbers relate to: Great House Farm, Llandough Williams family (John and Mary Williams) owner/ tenancy/occupation records Gaps in Bute records for the property title (1850 - 1950) Buckler family association with the property Any associated estate maps, rent books, leases, or correspondence relating to the property Any relevant material in the Bute Estate collection connected to land transactions affecting the site At this stage I am not requesting copies or scans, but simply the specific catalogue references / classmarks for relevant material held in your collections. I'm in Argentina and unable to visit in person, so having the correct references will allow me to identify and prioritise any relevant material through your catalogue system. I'm here at the Welsh Settlement: Patagonia, looking to reconstruct a replica of Great House Farm. Any assistance from my community back there would be appreciated, as this is a massive undertaking. Thank you for your assistance. Kind regards, Sion Buckler (Ret'd Sergenant) ------------------ Rhydian Davies Jun 12 2026, 10:36AM via System Dear Sion Thank you for your enquiry.
