Hi Christine and Nuala Nuala, I think you misunderstood the question? The three figures are the estimated extent of the land of each owner A = Acres R = Rood P = Poles For what they represent see http://privatewww.essex.ac.uk/~alan/family/N-Units.html (or just google the three words) The last column is in Pounds and Shillings Best wishes Nivard Ovington, in Cornwall (UK) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > Christine, > > It is pounds shillings and pence. > > Nuala ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >> Hi >> Can anyone help please >> in the 1873 LAND REGISTER YORKSHIRE WEST RIDING >> in the Extent of Lands column >> can anyone tell me what the figures mean, what kind of measurment is it? >> e.g. 105 1 36 and the next column is Gross Estimated rental >> Thank you >> Christine

Nuala / Listers EXTREMELY UNLIKELY INDEED to be currency figures (- to the point of being wrong, in fact...!!!) Christine - ......without even looking at the Register - I would guess ...acres / roods / perches........in that order Say after me - 40 perches = 1 rood, 4 roods = 1 acre (we have gone metric in New Zealand some time ago - hectares and square metres...)
