Land Tax Records for Stratton Strawless Parish
« on: Sunday 11 August 24 22:43 BST (UK) »
I have tried unsuccessfuly to find the land tax records for Stratton Strawless online and also at familysearch.org (online or at the history centers). [Previously I have been able to access land tax records for Somerset parishes at my local history center.]

I would appreciate comments about the choices I have for viewing Norfolk land tax records for roughly the period of 1766-1800.

Many thanks.
Willy, Willey, Gifford, England, Fry, Pittard (all in Kingsbury Episcopi Parish, Somerset); Forster (Warkworth, Northumberland; and Isle of Thanet, Kent); & Cartwright & Hancock (Birkenhead, Cheshire)

TNA at Kew has a 1798 Land Tax Assessment for Stratton Strawless, but unfortunately it isn't online.

https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C11774133

Below is a helpful overview of what Land Tax Assessments for Norfolk the NRO have.
Send them an email - hopefully they can assist you.

Thank you very much, Ashtone.

Would it be fair to say that the same people showing in the land tax for a parish for a particular year would also appear in a poor law rate list for the same parish and year?

Sorry, I have no clue. I'm sure someone will be along to provide an answer for you.

Are you searching for anyone or property in particular?
