Hi all, Thankyou to all those who replied with my document question, and especially to Eve for going through two pages of my typed Manor Court data and putting it in simple English. Now I can definately understand it all more, I have just done some more records from the early 1800's and those are even more wordy than the earlier ones. Perhaps its just that they repeated themselves all the time. I now have another parish to search to find my John and his children, it is interesting that living in Houghton, Hunts he had common fields in Warboys a considerable distance away. Thanks again for your willingness to help, Jan Robb.....N.Z.
