Hello, I am a new member of this list and am seeking help with information I have gathered from wills and estate inventory and account papers of people with the surname Hollow that lived in Calcutta and Dacca from about 1785 through to 1858. The inventory papers of John Hollow (c 1858-1834) when listing his property mention two Mouzahs and a Tallook, they are named. I understand a Mouzah was a village. Is this correct? What is a Tallook (could be Sallook)? Would John own them or just have the rights to have the indigo grown? John was referred to as an Indigo planter and eventually a zemindar. The inventory talks of upper roomed houses and lower roomed houses. What would these be like? The estate value amounts to about 220,000 rupees. Given this was in 1834 is this a large estate? Is there any way of working out what it would covert to in money now? Any help with these questions would be very welcome.
