1833 Parochial Assessment Great Marlow Part Six West Street / Potlands

 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.

1833 Parochial Assessment High Street Great Marlow Part One

I have transcribed this from the original handwritten assessment working notebooks which have been in my family for some years and are in a fragile and faded condition. The books were annotated with corrections and changes until about 1840. I will add any such information and flag it as such. Other notations are from my other research.
