Cornwall / Hannibal THOMAS of Zennor - Land ownership questions
« on: Thursday 05 March 20 01:31 GMT (UK) »
The Will in 1726 and Inventory in 1728 of my 7xGGF, Hannibal Thomas, included the following:
A Tenement of Land in Treen in the parish of Zennor on two Lives, Two small Tenements of land in Bosprennis the one on an old Life and the other on three Lives, Two small Tenements of Land in Gulval on one old Life, Tenement in Crowlas in the parish of Ludgvan (purchased from John Bennatts, now in the possession of Peter Roberts of Ludgvan, yeoman).
I'm hoping I can get some help with the following questions, please:
Does "life" mean the number of generations who owned the land?
What is an "old life"?
Where should I look to find more info on the land, dwellings and owners?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks ShaunJ
It could well have been there, but after a call, the company are unwilling to confirm he was a tenant due to data protection (which as far as I'm aware only relates to information of living individuals). Anyway, a search on Anc and FindMyPast hasn't brought up any electoral rolls for the Petworth area in the 1980's unfortunately.
Thanks for your suggestions though, I appreciate it.

Thanks kd and tjugg
It's written as 8 Mount Road, Petworth but I guess the person writing out the death cert may have misheard what my grandma said. I've looked up Mont Road on maps and looks to be a normal house rather than an OAP home. I'm wondering whether the local council may have electoral or council tax records from back then.. or was it the poll tax in those days!
tjugg you lucky thing, getting married at St Mary's! You join a few dozen of my ancestors who also were wed there. Looks a lovely church

I'm hoping to get some info regarding Mount Road in Petworth, which was listed on my grandfather's death cert as usual address when he died in 1983. I have a couple of maps of Petworth but can't seem to locate this road and web searches have drawn a blank. I'd like to visit when I go to Petworth in the summer.
Thanks in advance
Thanks in advance
