Summary: The Tynllidiart Friendly Society in 1837 (est Easter 1831) was run from the house of Mrs Anne Thomas (PP). Morgan Thomas occupied the Tynllidiart property in 1844 - as Friendly Societies tended to meet in pubs, does this imply that it was already a pub at that time?

In 1882, a six day's licence was granted to Abraham Owen of an unnamed pub in Ty'nllidiart, and a seven day licence was granted to John Williams of the Ty'nllidiart Arms, implying that there were two pubs in the village. [Abraham Owen was the licensee of the Maesbangor Arms in 1881]
