I can't remember saying that the mortgages were boring - It would be great to have (say) the Andreas mortgages put on a database, and linked to Lib. Assed. to establish things like: the extent of mortgaging, split between English and Manx Mortgates, extent to which debt built up, how often were mortgages followed by sale of the same land, when did people start mortgaging their own residence; what was the role of relatives/capitalists were there any professional moneylenders in these communities, to name issues that I wonder about.
Cheers
