Administrative history
Following the marriage in 1895 of Jane Mary Taylor Williams to Robert Pughe of Helygog, the Pughe family acquired an interest in the Tanybwlch estate, Llanllechid, Caernarfonshire. Jane was descended through her mother from Morris Williams of Tanybwlch and so acquired a quarter interest in the Tanybwlch estate.
