Dear Roy, Many thanks for your reply. I'll relay your answer to my friend. It's not a term we've ever come across before, but I was sure someone on this list would come up with the answer. I hope you have a happy halloween too. My littlies and better half are celebrating at Kielder Castle whilst I babysit hound, and the remnants of the flu bug:( Kind regards, Yvonne >From: old-english-bounces@rootsweb.com Sent: 31 October 2008 19:53 To: Old-English@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [OEL] Outwarning rents Yvonne - I think this may have something to do with auctioning, where the rent for what property is being put has to be accompanied with advice of rents to prospective bidders and tenants alike? This thought comes from one definition of auctioning to which "outwarning" may be related in the Encyclopaedia Britannica 2005 edition, from my Internet program Babylon. Other than this, I have no experience. Happy Halloeewen..... Roy <
