I have come across some information that has me a bit confused. I have an 1882 death registration from Scotland that refers to the informant as "George Easton' Son who resides at "Muirfoot Toll at Carmichael. The mother who passed away was residing at (Welton Walton or Wolton cannot quite make it out)) Toll at Douglas. I thought I knew what a Toll was, but are some another name for a residence or are they a residence for someone who operates a "Toll" and a Toll of what, roads or bridges? I expect this "son" may have been an executor of a will of an uncle as the 1872 will reads in part "Her Majesty's Justices of Peace for the County of Lanark, appeared George Easton, Toll Keeper residing at Avonbridge in the Parish of Hamilton, Executor of the deceased George Easton , lately residing at Harperfield. Now did these "Toll Keeper's" bounce around a little? It is an interesting situation as I may be able to make a link between the person who was deceased in 1882 as a sister in law of the person who died in 1872. Could someone please put me in the right direction on this little puzzle. I think I might be on the right path, however to figure out what a Toll keeper does (or did - are they around today) it would be nice to have a clear idea of what a Toll is. I have had to pay Tolls on roads at a "Toll Gate" on a "Toll Highway" but perhaps the residence part is what is throwing me off? Thanks Frank Easton Sherwood Park Alberta 0 c and 5" snow
