E  In Beaumaris Gaol the following information on Anglesey executions

appears as an exhibit:

           May  1654                             Margaret, daughter of Richard for witchcraft

S   2    May  1719                            Thomas Esay (17) of Beddgelert for horse stealing and                        other crimes.

Tu  2   May  1720                            Sian, daughter of Evan of Llandaniel for robbery

F     4 April  1862                            Richard Rowland for murder of Richard Williams

 

I do not know the source of this information.  It appears to bear out five of the six potential hangings between 1735 and 1804 though with discrepancies in the names and crimes.
