Hi,

Looks like he was farming quite a lot of land in the above link

and he is present in another area close by, but again I am struggling to read it

In no particular order, I'd go with :

Arable
Bog & hilly pasture
Reclaimed moor
Reclaimed bog
Cut bog & bog
Arable & reclaimed bog
Black bog

It is confusing the way in which the writer flips between B and b in Bog
