Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Abstracts of Estates of Popish Recusants

The missing word in Columns 7 and 8 is Int(erest).

I agree for Column 7, but I think Column 8 is Am[oun]t.

Many thanks for your help deciphering the document!

Durham Recusant Estates 1717-78 A-Z by surname, Cleveland FHS
https://clevelandfhs.org.uk/free-online-lists/land-records/

There's an article on "History Scotland" about the collection when it was added to FindMyPast.
"Documents relating to estates seized following Jacobite rising 1715"

Thank you for the links! I hadn’t come across Recusants before.
Many thanks for your help.

Is she the Popist recusant and Cuthbert Evans the tenant/occupier of her land or is he a Popist recusant too?

The heading for Column 4, in which Cuthbert Evans appears, is Names of the Ten(an)ts & Occupyers, not Recusants. There's no implication here that Cuthbert was a recusant.

The missing word in Columns 7 and 8 is Int(erest).
Yes it does look like he was the tenant. Thank you for your help deciphering the document!

Hi Maiden Stone,

It looks like the same Mary Bowes and she owned land in other parishes Brancepeth etc.

Thank you Greensleeves, Bookbox and goldie61 for your help!

Mary Bowes? widow has entries all down the page in various parishes. Is she the Popist recusant and Cuthbert Evans the tenant/occupier of her land or is he a Popist recusant too?

Attaching the page headings and Cuthbert’s entry which is at the top of the list.

Any help with deciphering the headings etc would be really appreciated.

Hi,

I have found my 7 x great grandfather Cuthbert Evans of Stanhope listed in Forfeited Estates Commission: abstracts of estates of Popish recusants 1717 on Findmypast.

My old eyes can make out some of his entry but I cannot decipher the headings at the top of the columns of the page.

As it’s information from National Archives am I able to post the top of the page with the headings on here for help?

Best wishes,
Carole

I might have a few of those where I can't find any record of a marriage!

Thank you again for the information and the look up.

Carole
