Re: Setting Quest Juries
In Response To: Re: Setting Quest Juries ()

Thanks for this. One of your unpublished documents indicates that the Moars name is consistently given in Liber Assed. Indeed it is, I just hadn't checked. Immediately following the last of the rents (Firma Molend for Michael) there is an entry labelled "Officium Maur" which appears to give the occupant and a sum of money (always 13s 4d in the instances I checked) against their name. Sometimes the Coroner is listed as well. They don't always match with names from the years setting quest jury disproving my theory ! Nonetheless the Liber Assed was produced most years of the 17th century so it should be possible to put together a reasonable list of Moars.

The following is an (unformatted) list of setting quest juries together with the names of the Maur (and where given Coroner) for the years in which I have images of the corresponding Liber Assed.
