Thanks Gordon,When I look at things again, and take the 4th column as 5 acres
for James, and the next column as 3 roods 2 perches, and do similar for the
other Duffins, it comes to 23 acres which is the amount that Patrick had for
the Griffith. So it would appear that he took over all the land
I think I get it. For instance, James has 5 acres at a rate of 1 shilling 3
pence and 3 acres 2 roods at 1 shilling 0 pence which totals 9 shilling 9 pence
tithe. All of them have 8 acres 2 roods but at slightly different rates. The
equal acreages and the fact that all the names are together
HI Peggy,
The first column is just a convenient number.
A/R/P columns stand for acres, roods, perches - the area of the block of
land/farm. 1 acre=4 roods=160 perches. A perch is just under 35 m^2 .
and there are about 2½ acres to the hectare.
The £/s/D are the old currency:
