"Edward Gethin of Llandyrnog, gent, John Gethin's son, signs a one-year lease to a Peter Evans of London, merchant, of lands in Corfedwen, Llandyrnog and Lleweni. There is little means of identifying this Peter Evans however a few facts are known. It is known that he [Peter Evans] was a "citizen and fishmonger of London", that he acquired in 1680 the lease of the Ship Tavern in the Old Bailey (ms 32)"[3]
