Lelant village leaseholders/tenants in 1838

This is a summary for Lelant village of the entries of people in the reference book A list of estates in the manor of Lelant and Trevethow which accompanies a book of maps, both dated 1838. The book of maps is a copy made in 1838 by I Rutger of maps made in 1820 by Charles Moody. Both the 1838 maps and the list are in the Royal Institution of Cornwall (RIC HJ/5/4,1 and HJ 5/4,2). The maps and list extend beyond the village.

In this summary the number after the name is of the page in the reference book. The people are tenants of Praed/Tyringham.

Some names appear more than once in the reference book. It is most likely that the same name means the same person but I have entered each name separately for each entry in the book. If all the same names apply to the same people, and if "late" means "dead",then a few people seem to be simultaneously both alive and dead.

These holdings are on maps 1 and 2
