Ainsworth Rentals 18th Century

This is just a selection of the various rental documents for Ainsworth which are at Manchester Archives in the E7/19 collection.  There are several others available from various dates, although the 1773 one below was the only one which named the properties.

Transcription errors: Some of the photographs I took were blurred and difficult to make out (it was from these that I transcribed the information below).  The original documents are fairly legible - I'd recommend rechecking the original documents for your research.
