In this document, and many others, the property name is spelled Quansbury but on Ordnance Survey maps it is Quainsborough. Some comments in parentheses are included for explanation. The property was owned by Denis Daly from 1722, and later passed by inheritance to the Earl of Louth. Why the document is within these estate papers is unclear.
