-Leases were for varying lengths of time and required the payment of rent to the landlord.&nbsp; Leases could be for the life-times of three named persons (often father, son, and grandson), which could be&nbsp;altered as needed and upon a further payment to the landlord.&nbsp; Therefore these records can be of particular genealogical value.&nbsp; Copies of leases were retained by the landlord and by the tenants and&nbsp;may be found in country record offices in estate collections.
