re her selling lands - would appear so - old women often have strong personalities.

Re staff land (see brief description p 304 of history of Kk Maulghold where Racliffe refs a 1717 inquiry into their origin)states they were freehold + never appeared on manorial roll - think they may come under one of the unfilmed Barony Books but best of luck as elsewhere such books mis out more than they show (Maughold has some funny landholdings prob derived from the early centre of Christianity around Maughold Church)
