Estate records were kept by
landowners for several reasons, the lists enabled
them to know how many men of working age lived on
the estate and, per se, how much rent the landowner
could expect from his tenants in any year. The
records also meant that if the landowner needed to
raise an army he knew immediately how many men of
fighting age he could call up. The records below
date from 1779 and predate the official census by
some 62 years, however, the lists are a very
valuable resource for genealogists and sociologists.
It will be noted that there is plenty of detail for
the men on the estate, such as name, age and
occupation but the women are simply listed as
chattels of the head of the household - no names and
no ages. The records below were collated by MH&AS
member Mr. R. L. Moore, who very kindly gave his
notebook to the Society, and transposed to
a spreadsheet by member Mr. B. Patterson. The
spelling of place names has been retained exactly as
copied by Mr. Moore from the original records.
