A volume, [c. 1850]-[early 20 cent.] (watermark 1847), containing pedigrees of the Lloyds of Clochfaen, Llangurig, Montgomeryshire, and Plas Madog, Ruabon, Denbighshire, compiled mostly by J. Y. W. Lloyd of Clochfaen from about 1850, with parts continued in another hand to at least 1911 (f. 19 recto-verso).
Folios 4, 5, 7 and all even numbered leaves from 10 to 64 are interleaves. The volume contains a pedigree of the Lloyd families of Clochfaen and Plas Madog beginning with Beli Mawr (see f. 3), continuing with two separate branches descended from the sons of 'Tudyr Trefor, King of Gloucester' and Angharad, daughter of Hywel Dda (see f. 8), and reuniting with Jenkyn Lloyd of Clochfaen and Elizabeth Lloyd of Plas Madog (f. 19) and their descendants (ff. 3, 6, 8-9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19 recto-verso); the pedigree of Margaret of Eyton (see also f. 11), from whom the Plas Madog branch was descended (ff. 21, 23, 25, 27); a pedigree showing the descent of the Plas Madog family in the female line, specifically through the wife of Ednyfed Lloyd (see also f. 11), and including the descent of Thomas Youde of Ruthin (see also f. 19) (ff. 29, 31, 33, 35, 37, 39, 41, 43, 45, 47, 49, 51); and the pedigree of Catherine, wife of Jenkyn Goch of Clochfaen (see also f. 13), descended from Elystan Glodrudd (ff. 53, 55). The first pedigree is incomplete, with gaps between ff. 3 and 6, 8 verso and 9, and 17 and 19, and f. 9 being little more than a stub; however at least part of the second missing section is supplied in a later copy on f. 8 verso. The pedigrees include over fifty coats of arms in various states of completion (ff. 8-43 passim); many are fully or partly drawn in black ink (ff. 8-27 passim), others merely sketched in pencil (ff. 37, 39, 41, 43); a few are partially painted (ff. 11, 13, 15).

A painted panel, dated 1650, depicting the achievement of arms of Charles Lloyd (1613-1657) of Dolobran impaling that of his wife Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Stanley of Knockin, Shropshire, with numerous quarterings, surmounted by two helms and crests and set within a canopy with gold tassels.
The painting is possibly by Charles Lloyd himself, a noted genealogist, and would appear to be the prototype for the oak panel, known as the Dolobran Panel, which was at that time hung over the fireplace at Dolobran Hall, and to which it bears a close resemblance. The achievement is notable for reflecting contrasting Welsh and English attitudes to heraldry: the six (possibly seven) quarterings of the Stanley arms strictly reflect the English practice of only marshalling the arms of families from which there was a descent through heiresses, while the fifteen Lloyd quarterings merely depict the arms of the most distinguished ancestors. The painting was later laid onto a board containing, on the verso, part of an Anti-Slavery Associat[ion] document, [?early 19 cent.]. For a description of the Dolobran Panel, including a full blazon, see M. P. Siddons, 'The Dolobran Panel', in Montgomeryshire Collections, 70 (1982), 65-70.
