Transcriber's notes
From different ink used the version of the name "Ward of Huxter" has been Re-submitted - this annotation being indicated in another name book.
Although the surveyors writing seems to show the names as "Ward of Hivdafield" and Hivda Skerry" they appear on the OS map as "Ward of Hevdafield" and "Hevda Skerry". The writing of the names "Hevda Skerry" and "Hevda" on pages 102 & 103 respectively show the letter "e" more distinctly.
