Calder House Thomas trotter and John trotter late1700 1800.

[ruthsaff]

Does anyone know if this place exists?Calder house and if so an address? A John Trotter was possibly caretakeror tenant of a farm connected with this house.
Also Tay  View House Perth as it was called in early 1800"s not now( everything is Tay View)?Does it have a current address?
i also have a reference for having  a general certificate to do Game duty -name reference Thomas Trotter esq Blackford in Edinburgh Advertizer 1811 . What does this imply or mean?

Hello ruthsaff,

     In 1784 the Game Certificate Act was passed. This made it compulsory for anyone (Landowners, Gamekeepers etc) who shot or hunted game to pay for a Certificate costing 2 guineas per annum. (Gamekeepers 10 shillings 6 pence)
     Annual Game Lists of names of people who obtained Certificates were printed countrywide. This could be why Thomas Trotter Esq. of Blackford appears in Edinburgh Advertiser re: General Certificate - Game Duty.

               Regards,     Dod.
