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).

I have lost my wife's ancestors a little later on in the East Markham/High Marnham areas; surname Stockdale. Thanks in anticipation.

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.
1664
BOLE Hearths Charged
Christopher Stockdall........i..............ij s
WORKSOP
Widow Stockdale.............3..............vj s

ADBOLTON
Richard Stockdale............1.............Discharged by Certificate
Fingers crossed that there's something useful for you here. If you have any other names, just let me know.
Alexander
-
The one at Bole looks promsing, not far from Markham, Worksop isn't that far either. Thanks very much. Any trace of Weselby please?
-
Sorry, nothing for Weselby, though there is Wesby, Welby and Westby entries which could possibly be related, depending how the name was said.
Alexander
-
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.
-
Hi Alexander,
Would you mind looking to see if there are any TOMLINSON in South Leverton or Tresswell areas please?
Thanks in advance,
Matt T.
-
Larkspur - you're in luck, there are a couple in East Markham. I also included the other An(t)cliff(e)s as there are only a handful and they may be related. The returns are from 1664 and 1674, and it looks like Thomas and Ellis were around for both:
1664
EAST MARKHAM Hearths Charged
Thomas Antliffe...................i.......................ij s
Widow Antliffe.....................i.................not chargeable
STURTON CUM FENTON

Hi Alexander,
Would you mind looking to see if there are any TOMLINSON in South Leverton or Tresswell areas please?
Thanks in advance,
Matt T.
Matt,
I've checked South Leverton and Treswell, both the 1664 and 1674 returns, and no T(h)omlinsons are there I'm afraid. Unlike with Larkspur's Antcliffes, Tomlinson is quite a common name and there are over 50 Tomlinsons throughout the county - a few too many to type all out. If you know any other villages where they might be, I'd be happy to check those for you. Or better yet, if you know the first name of any of your Tomlinson ancestors alive at this time, that would help narrow it down considerably.
Alexander
-
Alexander, many thanks for that Thomas Antcliffe is either my 8x great grandfather or my 7th great Uncle. I have come across Ellis before but not managed to link him up to my lot.
-
Thanks for that Alexander.
As a last request, would you mind checking Askham? I know they were later in Tresswell & South Leverton but possibly moved from Askham, though I don't know when, so it would help to know if there were any in Askham at this time.
Thanks again,
Matt T.

Going to have to disappoint again I'm afraid, Matt. I've checked Askham and there are no Tomlinsons there. Sorry.
Alexander
-
And the name Antcliffe survives in the area to this day, or at least recently.
-
It certainly does Roger, I have a brother and a nephew and a few cousins......I live in the village where my earliest ancestors (9th gt grandparents) are found in a marriage in 1608.
-
Thanks for looking anyway.
Kind regards,

Fortunate indeed, my ancestors seem to have moved around quite a lot, perhaps they were run out of town or got out before the law caught up with them!
-
I have an ancestor Robert Wilcockson who was married at Saint Peters church Nottingham in 1666. I would be most obliged if you could check if he appears in any of the Notts Hearth tax returns 1664:1674
-
Hi Bulwell,
I have checked both 1664 and 1674 returns and there are no Wilcocksons (or variants) recorded at all. It doesn't seem to be a Notts name.
So I checked the marriage you mention - I assume you mean Robert Wilcockson who married Grace Phepound. The marriage license states that both Robert and Grace were of Crich in the county of Derbyshire. Knowing that much of the 1670 hearth tax for Derbyshire is available online, I checked Crich parish, and there is a Rob. Wilcockson (1 hearth) recorded there - he might be the man you were searching for. In the 1664 returns there is a Robert Wilcockson who has 2 hearths, living at Crich.
You can see the entries at:
http://www.crichparish.co.uk/webpages/hearthtax1664.html
http://www.crichparish.co.uk/webpages/hearthtax1670.html
Hope this helps.
Alexander
-
Thanks for the quick response. I know of the Crich connection and have traced the two Wilcockson families there back to the 1550's. What I am trying to confirm is where Robert lived after his marriage and before he turned up in Greasley Notts some 20 years later. Any further suggestions most welcome

Hi,
Is it possible to get a list for Farndon?
thanks in advance.
Lisa :-)

Hi Lisa,
Sorry for my long delay in replying. I will PM you now.
Alexander
-
Hi again.
When you have a moment would you be able to do a look up for PORTER & BUCK in the Hearth Tax & Protestation Returns?
Much appreciated
Lisa :)
-
Hi Lisa, there are about 20 Bucks and 50 Porters in the hearth tax returns, similar numbers in the prot returns. Is there a particular area or name you are interested in?
Alexander
-
Hi Alexander,
Sorry, common name. Any bucks or Porters in the Northeast - places like Newark, Blythe, Bingham, Ranskill, scarrington.
Thanks
Lisa :)
-
Hi Lisa, I'll check these tonight.
Alexander
-
Hi Lisa, for some reason I already had a list of all the Bucks in Notts extracted for the Hearth tax returns, I must have been doing some research into that name a while ago. Here they are:

Mr. Thomas Porter...4 (charged viij s = 8 shillings)
1674

Hi Alexander
When you have a minutes could you please check for -
Bamfords of Sutton in Ashfield
Slaters of Teversal
Thanks very much
Carol
-
Hi Carol,
Though there weren't any Bamfords at Sutton in Ashfield, there were not many in Notts:
1664
CARLTON LINDRICK & CARLTON KINGSTON
Robert Bamford..............1 (ij s)
1674
STAPLEFORD
Francis Bamford.............3
PAPPLEWICK
Ralph Bamford...............1
CARLTON in LYNDRICK & WIGSTHORPE
James Banford..............1
I checked Teversal and the vicinity for Slaters but I'm afraid there were none. There were about 16 Slaters in the county recorded - I would be happy to type them up if you think it would be helpful.
Regards,
Alexander
-
Hi Alexander
Thanks very much for looking for me.
Don't worry about the Slater's. It is such a common name I think they may have to remain on my brick wall list.
Thanks again
Carol
-
Hi Alexander
Sorry to bother you again. Could I ask for another 3 please? Very common names again.
Wood - Warsop
Morley - Scarrington/ Orston
Cooper - Orston

Hi Alexander
That's brilliant, thanks very much.
Carol
-
would you mind checking to see if you have any entries for the surname Radley? My family are in the area from 1700's on. Would be good to see if any mentioned in the Hearth Tax. Thanks.

Also, Kitchen and Swanwick parish not sure/not known
Look forward to hearing from you
Very many thanks

Hi Valerie,
ARNOLD parish
1664 Arnold (only a small fragment of the bottom of the return has survived)
Thomas Nalor, 1 hearth, paid 2 shillings
1674 Arnold
Val: Johnson, 2 hearths
Thomas Nalor, 2 hearths, "discharged by Legall Certificate"
STAPLEFORD parish
1664 Stapleford (returns not survived)
1674 Stapleford
Mr. George Jackson, 5 hearths
Mr. Jackson, 1
Thomas Jackson, 1
Widow Jackson, 1, "discharged by Certificate"
KITCHENs
There are something like 57 Kitchens recorded in the county - a few too many to type out. If you have a few places or first names you would like me to check just let me know.
SWANWICKs
There are about 10 Swanwicks, here they are:
1664 Gonalston
Gilbert Swanwick, 1 hearth, 2s
Gilbert Swanwick, 1 hearth, not chargeable
1664 Scaftworth
William Swanack, 1 hearth, 2s
Richard Swanacke, 1 hearth, 2s
Welbeck Swanacke, 1 hearth, 2s
1664 South Leverton cum Cottam
Edward Swanacke, 1 hearth, 2s
1664 Tylne
Peter Swanecke, 5 hearths, 10s
1664 Barnby in le Moor
William Swanacke, 1 hearth, 2s
1674 Gonalston
George Swanick, 1 hearth
1674 Scaftworth
William Swannack, 1 hearth
EAKRING parish
1664/1674 Eakring
No Fleeman/Freeman
Incidentally, I have Fleeman/Freeman ancestors from Eakring. I'm descended from Gervas Fleeman who married Sarah Clarke there in 1706. It looks like the Fleemans probably came from elsewhere since they aren't on the 1664/74 hearth taxe returns for Eakring, but I haven't yet done much research on that line. Anyway, is this the same Fleeman family you are researching?
Hope some of the above matches up with your ancestors. :)
Alexander
-
Hi Alexander
This is wonderful, thank you so much for taking the time and trouble to help.
I think the Kitchens were in Bramcote, but have a bit of gap where they might have wandered off!
Our Fleemans are the same family (we were in touch a couple of years ago) I wonder where they were for the hearth tax?
Best wishes
Valerie
-
Hi Val,
I know who you are now, good to hear from you again. :D
There aren't any Fleemans at all on the hearth tax, though there is one Mr. Fleeminge in Nottingham and a large number called Freeman. I wonder if Gervas came
There were no Kitchens in Bramcote on the tax returns, and I quickly checked the surrounding area but didn't spot any.
Alexander

Hi
I am new to Rootschat so I hope I am doing things correctly. I have been researching various Nottinghamshire families for the past ten years and my particular interest is in the Loverseed(s).
Unfortunately the name has morphed over the years from Loversedge to Loverseeds with a number of variations along the way. I believe there are entries in the Notts Hearth Tax book for Loversead Rt and Loversidge (Loverseedge, Loverseige) J and R (there may be others) and I would like to know if the book has details on these families?
The family name is a very rare one and all living Loverseed family members can trace their ancestry to one person who lived in South Collingham in the 1600's.
Many thanks for sharing your book with other researchers.
Phil
-
Hi,
Are there any Elliots mentioned? I'm particularly interested in any John Elliots. Many thanks.
-
Hi Phil and Burto,
Apologies for not replying sooner, I've not been on Rootschat for ages.
Phil, here is what I could find on the Loverseeds & variants.
1664
SOUTH COLLINGHAM
Robert Loverseige, 2 hearths, 4s
WALKERINGHAM
Robert Loversidge, 1 hearth, 2s
1674
CLAYWORTH
Thomas Loversaige, 1 hearth, "discharged by certificate"
SOUTH COLLINGHAM
Robert Loversead, 2 hearths
BABWORTH
John Loverseege, 1 hearth
I should add a belated "Welcome to Rootschat", Phil. :)
Burto - I'll check for Elliots in a moment, I have a feeling there will be lots of them.
Alexander
-
Hi again Phil, In case you don't have this information I've also checked the Protestation Returns from 1641/2, and there is only one Loverseed from what I can see. He was living in South Collingham, and appears on the list twice, once at the top under the list of officials as "Robert Loversedes, Churchwarden", and further in the list as "Robert Loverseidge". There is no doubt that it was one Robert and not two.
Alexander
-
Hi Burto,
There are too many Elliots to type out, but I've pulled out the John Elliots:
1664 BINGHAM
John Elyott, 2 hearths, "not chargeable"
1674 CARLTON IN LINDRICK & WIGSTHORPE
John Elliot, 1 hearth
1674 NOTTINGHAM TOWN, SAMUEL SOARESBY DISNARY
John Elliot, 2 hearths
If there is any particular place your Elliots were from I can check to see if there were any Elliots recorded there (other than John).
Alexander
-
Hi Alexander
Many thanks for the information. This confirms other facts about the family and once again shows the name variations. I have tried to pronounce the surname but still have trouble with the ending as "g" and "d" sound quite different to me. Perhaps the accent at the time produced a sound which was a mixture of the two letters.
Thanks also for the information contained in the Protestation Returns. I don't have a copy of this publication but I do have copies of the Churchwarden Presentments for the years 1641 and 1642 which confirm Robert's church function. Interestingly, Robert's mark was a capital R rather than the more normal cross, on the various documents I have sighted over the years.

Interesting. Those officials aren't in the Index. Thanks for pointing this out since I missed Thomas Townerow Overseer who is one of them, and somebody else has posted a request for Townrow.
-
Hi,
I have just followed a trail that has lead to your offer of a couple of years ago. Does your offer still stand? If so please could you look up any Thurman (Thermon,Thirman, Thorman etc). If there are too many I am especially interested around Thrumpton, East Leake, West Leake, Broughton Sulney, Attenborough, Barton & Wysall.
Thanking you in anticipation.
Best regards,
Bob
-
Hi Bob and welcome to RootsChat.
I can only see 3 Thurmans (& variants). Some of the returns are very badly damaged, such as Broughton below, so there were no doubt other Thurmans for whom no record survives...
1664
BALDERTON GATE, NEWARK TOWN
John Thurman, 1 hearth (not chargeable)
Probably BROUGHTON (unclear because place name torn away)
John Thurman, 1 hearth (2 shillings)
1674
THORPE BY WYSALL
Edward Thorman, 1 hearth
Regards
Alexander
-
Morning, Alexander, and many thanks for this.
The missing Thurmans are probably as important as the ones mentioned as I am trying to identify family links.
Is it possible to see whether the Wysall returns are complete and therefore the Edward I have in Wysall is actually the Edward from Thorpe by Wysall, as I suspect?
Equally is it possible to see if the Barton in Fabis and Thrumpton returns are complete and therefore the Thurmans that lived there have moved on?
Much appreciated,
Bob
-
Bob, not sure if these burials will help at all. Wysall, Holy Trinity
22-11-1666 William Thurman abode Thorpe, notes say son of Edward.
1680 Edward Thurman notes say date illegible
2-11-1696 Edward Thurman notes- with wife Bathsheba.
2-11-1696 Bathsheba Thurman notes wife of Edward.
One baptism same church
1-6-1655 Edward son of Edward and Bathsheba Thurman.
-
Thanks, Larkspur,
yes I have these but may check them at Notts Archives next time I go.
The 1666 burial is the reason I am interested in the hearth tax; were Edward & Bathsheba from Wysall or Thorpe? It may help to place the family and give background colour to how the family was spread and moved through Notts.
Regards,
Bob

The Wysall, Barton in Fabis, and Thrumpton returns are complete and legible for the year 1674. I checked again to make sure I did not miss any Thurmans, but Edward Thorman is the only one recorded for those villages.
For the 1664 returns, none of these three places has any surviving returns, except a small fragment which may be Thrumpton.
At that time, Thorpe-in-the-Glebe was (and remains) a very tiny place. On the 1674 hearth tax returns there were only two houses recorded for Thorpe: Edward Thorman (1 hearth) and Mr Henry Benbridge (4 hearths). From the PRs and hearth tax returns, I think you can be quite confident that there was only one adult Edward Thurman in the parish of Wysall at that time, and that he lived at Thorpe in the 1660s and 1670s.
You probably have seen this already but just in case you haven't...
An administration bond and inventory for Edward Thurman (d1698) is at the Notts Archives - should be worth a look.
http://www.rootschat.com/links/0vbp/
Alexander
-
Once again, many thanks.
I can add the 1666 death to his tree, as well as focus in on where he lived.
Yes, I have a pretty full transcript of Edward's bond, with a lot of help from the Notts Archives staff. He was a farmer and left a reasonable legacy to his son, John. The bond says he was from Wysall so I am assuming that he lived on the Wysall side of Thorpe, they're only a mile apart, rather than he moved before he died. John was also a farmer and lived in East Leake.
I am sorry, but one last thing. Are the returns complete for Tollerton?
Best regards,
Bob
-
Yes, the 1674 returns are complete for Tollerton, but there are no Thurmans. Nothing survives from 1664.
As for the Wysall vs Thorpe problem, on the information we have I don't think we can determine which one he lived in when he died. He may have moved back into the village of Wysall between the 1670s and 1690s.
To understand more about the land where people lived and worked, you may want to search for deeds, manorial records, etc. I don't know what is available for Wysall and Thorpe specifically but I know many documents of this type are held at the University of Nottingham. It might be worth contacting them to find out what they hold.
http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/manuscriptsandspecialcollections/researchguidance/manorial/introduction.aspx
Alexander
-
Thanks, Alexander.
The indication from the will is he still had the farm when he died.
I have had a look at the Notts Univ. site in the past and judged that my time was better spent at Notts Archives ( it is a 4 hour round trip). Now that the manorial records are of more interest I will review that decision.
I had another look at the Notts Archives on-line catalogue, using the link you provided. I noticed that on the later records for Wysall that there are records for a farm whose location is Wysall/Thorpe. The two places are around a mile apart so if he had a reasonable holding his farm would straddle the border between the two parishes.
I am trying to reinforce a perceived link in my tree between the later family in Tollerton and Edward, as well as trying to find out where Edward came from. I am hoping that by fixing the local Thurman families in the landscape I can get a better picture. To this end just knowing that Edward of Wysall and Edward from Thorpe are the same person is a good result.
It would be interesting to know exactly where his farm was but, for the moment, I will leave it on record.
Thanks once again for your help.
I have good access to Warwickshire records so if you ever need anything from there post on this thread and I will go and look it up, though most of their records are on line.
Bob
-
Alexander, is it possible that you could have a look at Rampton for me and see if there are any Carr(e) or Jackson mentioned.Many thanks in advance. Mr Jackson goes by the wonderful name of Original and Mr Carre by XPFER ( Christopher)
-
Hello Larkspur,
1664 RAMPTON
Originall Jackson, 1 hearth (2 shillings)
1674 RAMPTON
Ger: Jackson, 2 hearths
Eliz: Jackson, 2 hearths
Orig: Jackson, 2 hearths
No Carrs I'm afraid. There is also no Christopher Carr recorded (in any parish).

Wonderful, many thanks Alexander.

Hi i am interested in Notts Hearth Tax records to see if there is anything entered for Haggonfields (Hagginfields) (Haggon fields) in particlar Haggonfields Farm hope you help me regards landrover110
-
Hi landrover110,
I apologise for not replying to your message sooner, I have not been on RootsChat for some time.
I cannot see anything in the Hearth Tax returns for Haggonfields specifically - I suspect people who lived there are included in the return for Worksop or Shireoaks. If there is a surname you are looking for, I could check for that, or I could send you the list for the whole of Worksop. Let me know what would be most helpful.
Regards
Alexander
-
Hi Alexander I have no names for that period but the Worksop and Shireoaks Hearth Tax information would be very helpful Kind Regards Landrover 110

Hi Sheila,
Blacknalls are easy - there are none in the index for the whole county.
Lots of Fosters, unfortunately none for the specific places you mentioned. I went through the whole of Thurgarton Hundred, so these may or may not be relevant.

Hello Alexander, thank you for your offer of help!
Is there any mention of any Rawson or Kenneson in Greasley?
-
Hi Annie,
There are a number of Rawsons in the county but none I can see in Greasley. In 1674, there was a Mr Reason of Nottingham with 8 hearths in Watnall, and Francis Rawlin with 1 hearth in Moorgreen, Greasley parish. The returns for 1664 for Greasley were badly damaged so only a handful of names survive from that year.
No people of the name Kenneson recorded for the whole county – unless there is a spelling variation I missed?
Alexander
-
I can imagine that there would be many possible spelling variations of Kenneson. Thanks for looking.

Alexander
Thank you so much for the Noone and Oldfield entries. The ones I have most interest in are William Noone and George Oldfield (Oldfolde) - some others may be relatives, so will have to investigate these. I am curious that there are no Nottingham entries for 1764, as the Oldfields were well established bellfounders in Nottingham.
Do you know what a Disnary is?
Judith
-
Hi Judith,
The original returns for the city of Nottingham in 1664 are missing (so there may well have been Noones and Oldfields in Nottingham in that year).
"Disnary" seems to have been a Nottinghamshire specific word. The town was divided into about 30 disnaries, it seems each area or disnary was overseen by a constable.

Any known or supposed connection to Norton Disney (Lincs) or indeed to Walt? I appreciate the difference in spelling, but at that time there was no standard spelling.

I don't believe so. It looks like Norton Disney and the Disney family derive from the French name, d'Isney, and there is no evidence that "disnary" shares this derivation.

Thanks

Have you any record in the name of MALKIN for Blyth please?
-
Hi tremal,
There is a Richard Malkin assessed for 2 hearths (4 shillings) in 1664 in Blyth. I do not see any Malkins on the Blyth return for 1674 however I do see there is a Richard Morkin with 4 hearths - I wonder if this is the same man?
Hope this helps.

Richard Raven, jun., 1 hearth (2s)
Ralph Raven, 1 hearth (not chargeable)
Thomas Raven, 1 hearth (not chargeable)
East Markham, 1674

Hope this helps. :)

Hello there, would it be possible to look up anyone with the surname Flintham or variables in Hearth Tax or Protestation returns, if you could this would be extremely helpful. Many thanks in advance.
-
Hi Alexander
I hope this offer is still good.
I'd be grateful if you could look up any entries for 'SHIPSIDES' and variant spellings.
Most probably Gotham, or Plumtree.
Thanks very much

Hi Goldie,
Not spelled the same but I suspect these are related to your Shipsides. Took a bit of finding this spelling!
1664
WIDMERPOOL (only small fragment, all chargeable hearths missing)
Widow Sheepsids, 1 hearth, not chargeable
1674
EAST LEAKE
John Sheepesides, 1 hearth
GOTHAM
John Sheepesids, 1 hearth
The 1664 register for Gotham is quite damaged and only a fragment survives, so there could well have been there in 1664.
There is a John Shipman in Plumtree in 1674, but not sure if that is of any relevance.
Alexander

Thanks very much Alexander.
Yes, the variations of spelling make for interesting research! :)
-
Good Evening!
Could you please be so good as to look up any Hearth Tax or Protestation Returns for Job/Jobb/Jobe as they seem to have gone off the radar for Lincolnshire where I know they reside in the 1690s. Also, if at all possible, could you confirm that my other ancestors, with surname, Brockton and Neale reside in Nottinghamshire in the 1600s, as I’m somewhat unclear as to which parishes they might be in.
I would very much appreciate your help, as have been at a “brick wall” stage for ages now!
Many thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,
These are the only entries in the Hearth Tax for the names Job, Brockton, and Neale.
1664
EAST STOKE
Widow Brocton, 1 hearth (not chargeable)
fragment probably MANSFIELD WOODHOUSE
Mr. Neale, 4 hearths (8s)
1674
MANSFIELD WOODHOUSE
Mr. Neale, 3 hearths
Mr. Neale, 7 hearths
WARSOP (Stockholme)
Mr. Neale, 3 hearths
BINGHAM
John Jobbe, 1 hearth (discharged by certificate)
In the Protestation Returns (1641/2) there are no entries under Job or Brockton. The only Neale is Roger Neale recorded in West Leake.
Hope this helps. :)
Alexander
-
Yes thanks Alexander, that’s helpful information, and I very much appreciate you taking the trouble to look it up for me.
Hopefully it’ll allow me to uncover a bit more of my ancestry.
Best regards,
Mike

Hello Alexander,
Thanks a lot for your long-lasting offer. Would you be able to help us with any entries in the Hearth Tax for BACON (and variants including Bakkon) in Dunham, Rampton and Rolleston cum Fiskerton?
Helen
-
Hi Helen,
Here are all the Bacons I could find in the county, a few in the parishes you mentioned....

BLITHE
Henry Bacone, jun., 1 hearth (not chargeable)
CROMWELL
Samuel Bacon, 1 hearth, 2s.
DUNHAM
Francis Bacon, 1 hearth (not chargeable)
GIRTON

Also looking at the parishes you specifically mentioned, note that there is no surviving return for Fiskerton in 1664. For the other places you mentioned both 1664 and 1674 seem complete.
Hope you find this helpful,
Alexander

Many thanks Alexander,
It was great to hear from you so quickly and yes, it is helpful - and as interesting for what isn't there as for what is.
Just a question - given your familiarity with the data, would you be inclined to interpret
1674 Dunham
Francis Bacon, 2 hearths
Francis Bacon, 1 hearth (discharged by certificate)
as Francis senior and junior, or as a single Francis with some reason for exemption on one hearth?
Thanks again,
Helen
-
Hi Helen,
I would interpret that as likely two Francis Bacons. The tax was payable by the occupier. Although I suppose that doesn't exclude one Francis Bacon occupying two houses, it is unlikely one would be exempt from tax while the other not. It was somewhat inconsistent in determining who was exempt from paying the tax but generally those with financial need (perhaps in receipt of poor relief, or of limited income or wealth) could receive an exemption certificate from the church or overseer of the poor. It is unlikely the same Francis would have to pay for one house and not the other. A notable exception might be in the case of a baker or similar profession, whose oven may be exempt from tax even if not otherwise exempt.
Alexander
-
Hi Alexander,
That explanation's very useful for analysing the entries further. One of the Francis Bacons was a blacksmith, so it sounds as if this may have exempted his forge from tax.
Helen

Hi Alexander,
Thank you for your kind offer.
I'd very grateful if you could tell me if any Watkinson family are listed in Nottingham town, please.
Many thanks.
Paulene.
