    Can anyone decipher the attached. This is a rent roll from an estate in Tipperary from 1783 (or was it 1803, cant remember off hand). I'm interested in the 8th and 9th people in the list.

    "Henry?? (Bruf) Bry ??
    Thomas Bryan

    In the next column

    part abbey
    Rapi ??? Mills ?? - 3 lives


    Then in the other picture

    both ?? in arrears ?? (is that what it means?) - £4.0.0 & £5.0.35

    Your opinions much appreciated. Thanks.

    I think it's Bruf in the first but concur with all your other suggestions.

    The second: it's not definitely arrears - there's a d.

    The second one might be "boath [both] in and as now" - whatever that might mean. It does seem to be a joint holding. Might that be a "+" after Henry Bruf's name?

    The figures seem to refer to acreage, and are aggregated in the next column: 9 acres, 0 roods, 35 perches.

    I'll take that one! Looks pretty much spot on.

    As you may see in the next column it has the name of the new tenant. So both Thomas and Henry? obviously died (or were evicted).

    is it possible that the 'Rap? mills' refers to an oilseed rape mill - rapeseed oil was used for lamps in Northern Europe up to the 19th century?

    That looks very likely alright

    Ya, that looks like a very strong possibility. I have checked and there was a number of rapeseed mills in this area serving the "big house", etc.
    Thanks, adds a bit more colour to my Bryan's.
