Dear Lyn

A moiety is a half-share of physical land - and yes there would have been
paperwork for a legal transfer.

In haste - best wishes - Anne

Subject: [MON] land records


I wondering if anyone can tell me if it is possible and, if so, how to trace
land records from 17th and early 18th century. Edward WILLIAMS vicar of
Chepstow who died in 1692 had the following estate -

Moiety of the Tythe of Hardwick and Chepstow .
Freehold Estates in Houses Garden Orchards and Lands situate and being in
the Parishes of Chepstow and Lanvaches in the said County of Monmouth.
Estate in Cardiganshire.

What exactly does Moiety of the Tythe mean? I take it to mean an income not
actually physical land?

Was there any form of transfer of Title/Deed to land when it was sold that
early?
