Other Records
1610 Composition Book
The following is an extract of the entries relating to Kirk Michael from the above. This record is less genealogically useful than the later compositions (both because it covers fewer tenants and also because the leases are not for lives). It does however provide a reliable updated list of many of the tenants (whereas the Libri Assedationis may not). It also indicates whether multiple tenancies under the same name are held by one or more individuals.
The rents are typically preceded with the abbreviation p am (short for per annum) and what may be a special symbol resembling the word iz.
