You are most welcome What I would also suggest is making contact with the county records office, ask if they have anything on the two farms in question I have some tenancy agreements for some of my lot in Buckinghamshire, they are somewhat later than yours but I would say its worth asking The tenancy agreements can be very detailed They itemised what the farmer took over and when and the restrictions placed upon him, what he had to do by way of maintenance and repairs and what would happen when he vacated at the end of the period Very far from all survive but worth the question They may also be able to help with a location for Delph Hole Alston Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 10/10/2015 21:21, Katharine Harris via wrote: > Hello Nivard, > > Thank you so much for taking the time and trouble to find Sowerbutts Farm for me.
