Description (What the record is about)
-
Presentments at courts leet, including lists of inhabitants of the entire lordship of Ruthin for Easter 1737. Here are useful lists of all male heads of household for much of the mid and later eighteenth century. Female heads of household also occur on some of the lists.
These lists were primarily intended to establish liability to jury service in the lordship but proved useful for those interested in parliamentary representation as well as the vetting of freeholders for the county constituency.
