These records were found among those of Trevor Roberts, a former firm of solicitors in Caernarvon. They were presumably taken to Wales following the marriage of Jane Bull (nee Nichols) to David Owen of Conway in 1855 (See D208/6/13-22). The collection was passed to Gwynedd Record Office which gave them to Buckinghamshire Record Office 3 April 1995
