Title: Rental of Landgable Rents in Dublin

Date: 1665

Description: 'Landgable' rents would now be called ground rents and this database covers houses and their occupiers in Dublin at an interesting period in the city's history.

Given that spellings of names varied considerably, a small number of changes have been made to the names to assist the researcher. For example, the double f, as in ffisher, has been changed to a single f and capitalised, and where V is really U, as in Usher, this has also been amended.

A few comments of interest appear. For example, William Gee was recorded as someone who “defies the Sherr [sheriff] & all their authority”.
