Hi everyone I was delighted to find a reference to fishing in a will inventory of 1722 recently and would like to wring out of the few words as much as I can. The first line is clear enough I think but the second line might contain more in the same vein if anyone could have a quick look for me. I can send a small jpeg. 'Item all the netts and wars (wares) yt Belongs to fish prisd for 5s' 'Item the ----- and drons? and spear priced for 8s' The spear is straighforward and would probably have been the three pronged type used until recently by country folk for taking trout out of local streams (not always legally!) but I'm wondering what the drons might be. Is cauldon ever shortened this way or should this be read as 'Irons'? The missing word here looks like table but could it be cable or something else? I'm sure that anyone who is listing their spear and nets in an inventory would have had a legal right of some kind to use them. Any comments? Many thanks and best wishes Barbara
