YOOLL lands

Legg inn av John H » 07 des 2007 22:30:04

Can anyone advise whether this is such a type of land as YOOLL lands.

If so what does it describe.

If not can anyone suggest what the person writing a Will maybe talking
about.

The person writing the Will is apparently quite well educated and owned land
in Wortham.

I have the Will of 1653 which states (as best can be read) amongst other
things:

"Item: I give and bequeath to Elizabeth my wife this house wherein I now
dwell,
with all ?change/charge? named structures and buildings,
and outbuildings and gardens thereto belonging,
with our ?YOOLL? of land, called by the name of ?sponge/sporge?,
and at the end thereof a ?YOOLL? of land for farming our cow."

The words with ? before and after, means the word is not very well
decipherable OR readable.
Any assistance with these words would be appreciated

Could it be a ROOD of land? That's a quarter of an acre.

Parcell, as Ian Wallace suggested.

The "p" will have a line through it, to show it is an abbreviation for
"per" or, in this case "par". The resulting letter may look like a "y".

The first "o" in ooll, could be the "c", read as an "o".

So you have

p'cell.

Parcell.
