John Wynne of Gwydir, deputy lieutenant of the northern part of Caernarfonshire, and Robert Wynne, Thomas Vaughan, Hugh Hookes and Maurice Kyffyn, esq's, justices of the peace in Caernarfonshire residing in the said limit, to [the Privy Council]. Have received directions from the Earl of Pembroke, the Lord Lieutenant, to make enquiries as specified in No. 65. Having met at Conwy on 8 Feb., jointly certify the council, from the certificate of the bishop of Bangor, enquiry of chosen men, most familiar with the country and best-affected in religion, and from personal knowledge, that they know of no gentlemen's sons of this limit overseas during the last seven years. Copy, upon which William Morris has added the following draft in unrelated paragraphs here rearranged. 1.William Maurice, esq., deputy Lieutenant in the south part of Caernarfonshire, and Hugh Gwynn of Bodvell, Robert Brinkir, Ieuan ap Hughe ap Madog and Robert Madrin, esq's, justices of the peace living in this limit, met the [...] Feb. at Pwllheli, and by the enquiry of chosen men, most familiar with the county and best-affected in religion, and from personal knowledge, certify to the Council that they know of no sons of gentlemen of this limit sent overseas within the last seven years to learn languages or for any other reason except for those fighting in the Queen's service or who are in trade, other than in this catalogue of names. John Thomas Owenn, a scholar of Oxford and an orphan, not suspected of recusancy while in this country, is reported to have gone with a son in law of a Dr Coranus of Oxford who obtained a licence for them both. Where he went and his present whereabouts are unknown. 2.Two sons of a gentleman of the limit called Owenn David Lloyd, by name John and Griffith are both believed to be overseas and are suspected of being Papists. One left about twelve years ago, the other eight years ago. As far as is known, the father is not a recusant, but they thought it right to search his house [as specified in No. 65] which was done on [...] Feb., but nothing was found. Do not intend to bind Owen David Lloyd to appear before the Council, unless the Council so wishes. They send also a catalogue of names of those whom they have learned are absent from this part of the shire and not employed in the Queen's service or in trade, even though they have been away for more than seven years. Hope the council will realise their good intentions, even though they exceed their directions. 3.It is uncertain whether Robert Pughe and John Owen ap David ap Cadwallader, who were fugitive recusants more than twelve ago, and whose families are in this limit, are overseas or not. They thought it right to search their houses [as specified in No. 65], which they did on Feb. 22, but found nothing.
