In Response To: Re: Mills / Milns ()

Thanks Frances. Would family groups live on the same land owned by the heir? I have found properties and quarterlands that descend ownershipwise to the eldest son, but for younger sons can't seem to find (at this stage) anything in the names of younger sons, although I have other information indicating that they were still on the island...

Admittedly I need to do a lot more research in this area, but wondered if younger sons would live in cottages on the estates of their elder siblings?

Never having been to the island (although I hope to visit in the next year!) I probably have lots of obvious sounding questions...
