Anyone read the attached file??

Particularly the occupation of William and Ishmal, and the relation between the two.

Thanks :)

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / UK Land Tax Redemption

Just starting out, so please be gentle. :)

Please have a look at the attached Land Tax Register 1798 and let me know what it means :-\

Particularly in relation to John Espin. What does it say (as I am yet to understand fully the handwriting) and what (in laymans terms) does it all mean?

Thanks :)

My husbands Elkington family has an Espin link:

James Espin (b. 1789 Lincs d. 16/11/1845 Woodhall) = Mary Orwell (b1789 Fulletby d. 25/12/1856 Woodhall)
Children:
John 1807
William 1809
Elizabeth 1812 = Benjamin Elkington
James 1814
Mary 1819
Thomas 1821
George 1823
Ann & Francis 1826
Martha 1828

dates known all woodhall.

My thoughts are that James and John are close relatives - brothers or, at most, close cousins. I too have traced my family back to James but he seems to be non existent before his marriage to Mary Orwell in 1805.

I've noted that James signed his mark an 'X' on his banns license, and he is of the Parish of Louth. Thomas Espin (James and Johns possible brother), came to Louth in 1790 as a Master of Mathematics at a school in the town. Which would place the family in Louth at the time of James' wedding to Mary.

James and Mary were married at Thimbleby (approx 15 miles from Louth).

Horsington and Thimbleby are close geographically, so, I know its a long shot, but they COULD all be related :)

Any help with connecting these families would be fantastic :)
