Dear Peter,
Thanks very much for that very useful reply - this list is great, there
is always someone with a bit of arcane knowledge and - what is more
important - is willing to share it.
That is just what I wanted to know. The drift way has come up a few times
with this village, and although I know they were farmers in the family, I
have always assumed it was crops rather than livestock - no mention of
cattle or stock in the wills, so maybe other farmers in the village had
the cattle.
Thanks again
Eunice in Queensland
