Occupation Interests / Commissioners of Land and Assessed Taxes
« on: Saturday 09 July 22 17:03 BST (UK) »
In 1838 my ggg grandfather, Henry Plowman, was "included as Commissioners in the New Act for granting a Land Tax and Duties on Personal Estates, Offices and Pensions, in the county of Dorset".
He was at that time a Surgeon retired on half pay from the Royal Navy. I have not yet found what duties that entailed or if it he received any form of remuneration.
Does anyone have any knowledge of the role please?
