Transcriber's notes
check Woodhead Hill - Authorities - this writer has left a small gap between 'Shilling' and 'land' and also 'Minny hive' - compared to the previous page. I think this is just stylistic with the letters not joined up in this instance, rather than intentional separation into two words?Transcribers who have contributed to this page.
