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
