Dugdale family, of Llwyn, Montgomeryshire

1852-1950

The Llwyn estate was owned by the Humffreys family of Llanfyllin from at least the late seventeenth century. It remained in the family's possession until around 1852 when it was purchased by John Dugdale (I) (d. Dovecot near Liverpool, 1855). He left the Irwell Bank estate, Pendleton, to his son John Dugdale (II), who sold it to his cousin, another John Dugdale, who died there in Dec. 1881. John II married a daughter of Mr C. L. Ringrose of Tranby near Hessle, at Kirk Ella in Jan. 1851. John II's son, John Marshall Dugdale (1855-1918) m. Isabella ('Isa') Hargreaves at Tarporley, co. Ches., 20 July 1876. John II's other sons, Walter m. Flora Priestley at Paddington St James, 5 Dec. 1885, and Charles Tertius m. Adela Day, also at Paddington St James, 14 July 1886. There were also two daughters, Clara and, probably, Mary. John Marshall Dugdale was succeeded by John Eldon Marshall Dugdale (fl. 1929-1954).

The Dugdale family still owned the estate or at least parts of it in the 1940s, when Llwyn mansion was sold to Montgomeryshire Education Authority. The house was demolished and is now the site of Ysgol Uwchradd Llanfyllin.
