Abbeylands' Rents in Skinsco [Lonan] 1740

Note the rental book had six columns - one for Rent (in pence) and the others for Barley(Bowles), Lambs, Geese, Hens and turf - presumably a hangover from the days when tenants paid in kind.

(note entries are not numbered, these are added for convenience).

As elsewhere additions/notes to the entries are indicated (..) - entries which changed from one roll to next are underlined in original.
