Numbering on the surveyors map started with Holy Trinity Church being number 1, then spiralling out from that location. The larger the number, the further from the church. In this example, one can see that many "occupiers" aren't listed. Not every property had a "lessee", and some landowners leased land as well. Tithe holders were individual or combined, while the Vicar received small tithes.

The original index grouped properties by Owner which lead to very odd combinations - Town Places numbered in the 20's being included next to properties numbered in the 3000's, for instance.

The original Indexers did "group" properties, so to speak. To adapt these entries to spreadsheet requirements, the entries have been shown as "see XXXX", where X=one of the entries of the group. Most of these had separate names - not every property was called "Moor", for instance - and many/most had different occupiers. See Lines 7 & 8.
