My family has the original working notebooks written up for this assessment. It was to be used to set the 1834 rates.
It's age means the material is faded and falling apart so I am transcribing it in parts starting with the house and building information. The notebooks have some corrections and additions added up to circa 1839. If any are present for these entries I will indicate so. I have been adding the different parts to this blog as and when they chime with other bits of research I am doing.
Format I use:
Name
Property
Annual value of property
Any notes of mine added in square brackets
