Custodial history:
Sir Edmund Buckley, 1834-1910, was created first baronet of Mawddwy, Co Merioneth in 1868. Born Edmund Peck he adopted his father's name and the Buckley Arms in 1864. Three years later he inherited a vast fortune, property and business ventures including mines, quarries and canals. Unlike his father, Sir Edmund appears to have had little business sense. The correspondence reflects a gradual decline in his fortunes until most of the estates in Manchester were auctioned and he was declared bankrupt. The first baron died in 1910 to be succeeded by his son Edmund. With his death in 1919 the title died out as his son Edmund Maurice had been killed in action in 1915.
