I revisited the Public Records Office on Thursday 27th. The off site document was in but it turned out not to be relevant to my project. However I did have much more success with the Landed Estate records and I passed a fascinating few hours tracing the developments of the process where the Batt Tenants became Owners as a result of the Land Acts. The whole process for every individual tenant was on record in fine detail. This was a massive administrative undertaking during WW1 and this was just one Estate!
