Re: land records (Liber Vast)
In Response To: Re: land records (Liber Vast) ()

Thank you Nigel, Brian, and Michael,

Yes, I have found some transactions wherein the two values above the tenants' names are different, and I suspected that the whole property wasn't being transferred. So thank you for clarifying that. I am sure that the deeds themselves would probably help clarify this as well, but this is something I would have to hire a researcher to look at, and I want to be more sure of what exactly I want before I waste their time (and my money?!)

Do I understand you to say that the numbers to the right reflect the value (rent) of the entire treen in which the property was located (which most probably included four quarterlands, and an unspecified number of intacks?) Or do they represent the value (rent) of the property itself being described e.g. "Intack 58"?

I have not yet had a chance to look at the Liber Assed., as those films haven't arrived yet. (It seems that when you order films, they never arrive in the order you would have preferred.)

Thank you again for your help.

Lois
