Hello Sandra Okay many thanks for explaining, but then this raises another question - How do I find out what/which manor the tything was a part of? Milford has been put as Henry PAGE's birthplace so would the manor be Milford? There is so much to learn and until one comes across these items you find you really have to keep learning (keeps the cobwebs away). Thanks for correcting my understanding. >Hello Denise, >Just a word about a TYTHING in your context. >A tything was a part of a manor and normally supported about 10 >families in mediaeval times. You are confusing this with a tythe, a >payment to the church. >Sandra Kind regards, Denise B Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia - denise@lighthouseelectrical.com
