Thank you both!
1634: Archibald Brown O
1671: Cuthbert Brown O
1673: Gavin Brown O
1763: James Burnett O
1819: still James Burnett, and also Walter Newall O
1834: John Kissock
1841-51: Wm Paterson
1873: Walter Copland O
1901:J and J Murdoch
1942: Mr and Mrs Laidlaw, in their sixties, lived there, no children, neighbour visited them.
1943: FC purchased Mabie Forest
1949: Laidlaws moved out, died there or soon after
c1975: FC demolished house and that of Marthrown of Woodhead within a week of each other.
O = owners, as opposed to tenants, (tenant) farmers, horsemen, ploughmen, housemaids etc
I have names of other people from census records, baptismal records, etc, and as there were many workers employed, assume that these are them.
(And the research all started after some sheep went astray two summers ago!)
Many thanks.
