Hello Kathy The description of AREA is as acres,rods,perches. This is the old Imperial land measurement and not generally in use today. The description of RENT is as Pounds, Shillings , Pence. Again the British monetary form at the time. My dictionary describes "moiety" as a "half". Plot 6 looks like it had been divided for separate leases. Hope this helps Max Carrick Southern Cross Genealogy Australia's National I.S.P. for Genealogists and Historians www.southernx.com.au Freecall 1800 882 884 for connection
