Hi

A good few of the odds and ends of deeds and contracts are written into the first sheets of each parish in the deeds indexes. THey have been microfilmed just like the other items.

The cases in Libri Scaccarii concern anything which might deprive the Lord of Man of his revenue, but they are not usually particularly strong on genealogical info.

If you haven't yet looked at them, the Composition Books are full of useful things from the period 1643 to 1705, and Frances's wesbsite has some notes I made on the different sources there, and some interesting transcripts she has made.

I am not sure about the ponies, but if you want to email me the image you have I'll confirm what it says.

My e-mail is en gee crowe at hotmail dot com.

I have descent from the Cannells of Ballacarnane Beg, and those of Ballagonnall, but not from your Robert, I don't think.

Best of luck.
