1833 Parochial Assessment Great Marlow The Causeway (Part 7)

 My family has the original 

working notebooks used by the surveyors to compile this assessment. As they are fragile I am transcribing them gradually on the blog. I put them up in order as they chime in with research myself or others are doing.

The notebooks contain some scribbled notes added in the few years after the assessment too.

Transcription follows this pattern:

Name

Property occupied

Annual value of property

Any notes by me in square brackets
