John Games , Innholder of Talgarth. Most of his children were baptised in Hay. Powis Archives Deposited: Family, Estate and Legal The records in this section comprise estate and family collections and also the records of the clients of solicitors, estate agents and land surveyors. These records are a rich source for the history of the counties which comprise Powys, containing many assorted title deeds, wills and even stray manorial and local government papers. This section can do little more than indicate the largest collections and the sorts of material each contains : many are too miscellaneous to be effectively summarised here. However, detailed catalogues are available for consultation in the Search Room, and there is a comprehensive index to parishes and places referred to in these records.
