Poser 366 - Minutes of the barony court of Corstorphine, 1692

This poser is taken from minutes of the barony court of Corstorphine in 1692 (National Records of Scotland, RH11/17/1, page 5) and is part of a list of tenants in the barony.

The roll lists the tenants cited to appear in court and records which of them were absent (those marked ab) and therefore liable to a fine. Surnames and cursive script are your main worries, especially hastily written secretary hand letters e and r.
