Note on back of print, in pencil, in Jesse Emily Jones' hand: "Bess y gaseg wedi glanio yn 1913 i Hafod-gynfor o Rhydonen - Ganwyd hi yn y Weniar yn 1911" and more, erased and illegible; in another hand, "1920, Bess & Tommy Hafod y Gynfor Glyn Chirk". This is Bess the mare, born 1911 in Weniar, arrived at Hafodgynfor from Rhydonen in 1913, seen with Tommy - Thomas Davies - who later became Inspector of Roads (?) for Denbighshire. Gwyneth recalls that Bess "carried the whole economic fortune of the family from about 1920 to 1938".
