Hello, I have a spot (at Putney) on a Parish map I would like to email to anyone who would offer opinion on the interpretation of the annotations. Contact me at john.mail@ozemail.com.au [1] Also are most "L"-prefix annotations references to LANDS department files? Does anyone know anything about Maritime Services Board file references, please? I have earlier enquired about markings re 1898 and other files of that century on Concord Parish Map (at Victoria Avenue, Concord West) re the case of Love vs. the Attorney General. In that case Love won, and the case has since been cited in (at last count) SIX Supreme Court cases in Canada. However following/finding files in Canada is just as hard as here I'm sorry to say --- I have found one the cases down to spot of a church, St. Anne's, near the eastern tip of Nova Scotia. Some Indians tried to claim that land there as they can prove they'd been there for over a hundred years. They took the case to the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia (but did NOT cite the case of Love vs. AG in NSW there) --- they FAILED, their application was rejected. They then went to the national Supreme Court of Canada -- cited the Love case precedent there, and they won the land. I don't yet know how influentially, if at all, the citing of the case of Love (1898) helped them - as it is can be very hard to probe Judge's minds from the written record that gets left behind.
