I have in my family the original working notebooks used to compile the official assessment along with some related correspondence but they are old and very fragile so I thought I would transcribe some of them on my blog.
©Marlow Ancestors. Please give credit to this blog and link here if using my transcription but you are very welcome to do so.
Other parts of the transcription can be found listed on the "Specific Shops, Streets etc" option on the menu, under the street name concerned.
Formula of transcription is:
Name
Property
Annual value of property.
Any notes of mine coming from other research are in square brackets. Also, the notebooks were annotated with additional information by their custodians up to about 1839. If any such annotations appear for these properties they will be included and flagged as such.
