Transcriber's notes

The proprietor's name for Gladdenhill is shown in the description with the surname only. In the spelling column the forename is unclear. It is an abbreviation. It could be " Jas" but the first letter is unlike the "J" in "J.L.S." It could be "I" but I cannot find a name to fit. It could be a poor "S". "Sus" could be Susan but he is clearly male. It is an addendum so the only writing for comparison is the entry itself. My best guess would be "Ins" which is what i have transcribed. I think it is an unusual abbreviation for Iohannes/John (see sheet 131) as a John Miller is shown as the proprietor of Byreneuk. I recall there is (was) a smallholding called Bryarneuk close to Gladdenhill and that has to be more than coincidence.

Neuk
The word "parperty" I assume is a misspelling of property!
