Gerard,
Thanks for your reply. By the lack of response I assume that this is not a
common phase, but you gave me some food for thought.
Both the handwriting and the contractions make it difficult to be sure but I
now think that it means 'the messuage where he dwelt/resided'. Why this
should be only against his entry I do not know because other tenant rented
more than one messuage.
Thanks again
John
