On 1855 valuation roll for Parish of #Botriphnie, my 3x gt grandfather, Alexander Moggach Sr (1792-1861), is the tenant & occupier of Newburgh Farm on the #Drummuir Estate (rent value £35/yr). His mother, ‘Widow Forsyth’ (1770-1856) is at Croft of Old Lenoch (rent £1:13s) [1/2]
This is the first time I’ve really looked at the valuation rolls. Thank you for the prompt from Alison Spring (@FrugalFH) at #RootsTechLondon - I now see what I have been missing. [2/2]
The valuation rolls have also helped me narrow-down the dates when my 2x gt grandfather, William Moggach (1832-1905) was the crofter at Greenhills in #Boharm. His rent in 1885 was £12:0s:0d. [3/4]
