I have the original handwritten working notebooks used to compile this are kept by my family with correspondence relating to the making of the assessment but they are old and fragile so I thought I would transcribe them onto this blog. There are handwritten additions and corrections up to the late 1830s too. If present they will be added into each part of the transcription and highlighted as such.
Other West Street content including more relevant parts of the assessment, biographies of residents and histories of shops can be found under the West Street sub heading on the "Specific Shops, Streets....Etc" option on the menu. I am transcribing and publishing the different parts in the order they chime in with my general Marlow research.
All mentions of a person on the blog can be found on the Person Index.

Formula of transcription is:
