go to Daniel in 1867. note in margin: Thomas dead.
also 17a goes from Daniel Sands to Owen Rourke in 1867 then to Francis Rourke in 1869

There was usually a lag between a person's death and the transfer of the parcels to the next tenant. Thomas died in 1864 but he is still on the books until 1867.

The Daniel Sands who rented parcel 17a might be Thomas' brother. It's hard to say. That Daniel died in 1865, age 89.

This is very likely him. Thomas' land went to Daniel Sands in 1867 and there is usually a lag between a person's death and the transfer of land on the Valuation Revision books. An image of the death can be ordered from the civilrecords link below.
