The Sasines are the record of transfers of land in Scotland - The original documents are held in the National Records Office, Edinburgh:
(1) the reference for this transaction is "#384, Jun 18, 1877". Is anyone going to Edinburgh who can look it up for me please!!!
The short version of it reads: Registry of Deeds showing transfer of properties) for Orkney and Zetland , 1877, number 384: 18 June 1877.
Disp. by WILLIAM CORSIE jun., sometime Merchant in Kirkwall, Orkney, now residing at Bruce in Ontario, Upper Canada, North America, to Thomas Omand, Carpenter, residing in the Island of Eday in Orkney,– of Area of ground (32 Poles) bounded on the north west by the Road to Mill Street, in Parish of Saint Ola and Mainland of Orkney, being part of the 9 Penny lands of PAPDALE and others, particularly described in Sasine in favour of Frederick Dundas, recorded in General Register of Sasines 26th Dec 1854. Dated May 30, 1877; with Warrant of Registration thereon, on behalf of Thomas Omand.
(2) I am wondering if Thomas OMOND [or OMAND] sold land in Eday in order to buy the land in Kirkwall when they moved into town in their retirement. Is someonw able to look that up for me either in Edinburgh or Kirkwall.
Many thanks from his descendant living in Tasmania!
