A volume compiled by J. H. Davies labelled 'South Wales' and containing press cuttings, notices, copies of photographs and engravings, etc. relating to South Wales and South Wales families.

Miscellaneous pedigrees and other biographical material relating mostly to Wales, with some items relating to Gilbert Wakefield.

A collection of pedigrees mainly of South Wales families transcribed by Thomas Evan (otherwise known as Thomas ab Ieuan) of Tre'r Bryn, 1683, with additions in another hand.

A collection of South Wales pedigrees compiled between 1578 and 1588. It also contains a copy (mutilated) of a poem by Siôn Cent beginning 'Pannyd Ryfedd wirionedd ar inion olwc' and a list (also mutilated) of the names of the sheriffs of Breconshire. Their year of office is not given, but there are 92 names in all, the last three being Thomas Bulcott, Thomas Gwyn, and John Stedman: the list differs slightly from that printed in Theophilus Jones's History of Brecknockshire. Iolo Morganwg has annotated the volume and has frequently written 'Dal sylw!' or similar phrases in the margins. He has also picked out various names which occur in the pedigrees, among them 'Meredydd ap Rhys ap Rhiccert' (p. 41) and 'Rhys goch ap Rhiccert' (p. [1]15), although in the second instance the name in the pedigree is 'wenllian verch Rys goch ap Rys voel ap Rikert ap einion ap gollwyn'.
