More Andreas records

Lyle, there is another source of interest which I think is unique to Andreas. A "visitation" (census) was taken in 1757, of married persons, widowers and widows (all named), plus the number of male and female adults and children under aged 16 (unnamed) in each family.

You may already have seen this published in the IOMFHS journal in 1994, or Frances's transcript at:
www.isle-of-man.com/manxnotebook/parishes/as/v1757.htm

But you may not have seen that Nigel Crowe asked Donald Dugdale to do a comparison between this census and Nigel's transcription of the "List of Properties from Liber Assed.1760-63 in alphabetical order of owner's name".
(Ballakinnag at no.159.)

See Nigel's explanation, Introduction, Census comparison 1757, and also TEARE under his 1761 Rent Roll: www.manxroots.info/andreas/openme.htm
