Offer: Notts Hearth Tax 1664 : 1674

[Alexander.]

I have a copy of Nottinghamshire Hearth Tax 1664 : 1674, which includes transcriptions of most of the known Notts Hearth Tax returns for those years. It covers the whole county, and most parishes are included at least to some extent.

If you have traced any ancestors back to that period, I am more than happy to lookup their name (there is a surname index). Or if you are interested in a whole parish, it would not be difficult to supply the details of a parish.

Generally most entries include the names of the householder, and the number of hearths they were charged for (or in the case of poor people, the number not charged for).

Please send me a PM if you want a lookup (or post on the Notts lookups board).

Hi Val,

I've searched through all the J and G surnames to no avail I'm afraid. No-one that looks like Joynes or Gines - closest name is Jones, but no Richard there. As a last resort I went through the Nottingham pages, but still nothing. Perhaps he wasn't old enough by 1674.

There are a number of Pratt's recorded, however - would you like me to send you those?

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Hi Redroger,

I searched through East Markham and Marnham areas, but no Stockdales. However, I did find only three in the whole county, so thought I'd post them just in case. Sadly not quite the areas you were searching...but there may be a connection.

Fingers crossed that there's something useful for you here. If you have any other names, just let me know.

The one at Bole looks promsing, not far from Markham, Worksop isn't that far either. Thanks very much. Any trace of Weselby please?

[Alexander.]

Sorry, nothing for Weselby, though there is Wesby, Welby and Westby entries which could possibly be related, depending how the name was said.

[Redroger]

Thanks for that, I shall now follow up the entries from Bole and Worksop. (That's the second time I have corrected that word from Workshop!)Freudian I think.

Could you please look if there are any Ancliff, Antcliff, Antliff with or without a final E in  East Markham. Many thanks in advance.
