Lists of village residents

[Gigi]

Hello All,

Does anyone know if there any listings of Westmorland village residents that you are aware of, between the Hearth Tax of 1674 and the Window Tax list for 1777 (from genuki.org.uk)?

Thanks,

Gillian

Well not via genuki but ...

.. .there may be land tax records.  I have some for Crosby Ravensworth for 1765.  Also for around 1702-4 I have some poor relief stuff and rents for CR from the Lowther estate records.  Similar may exist for your parish.

There's also the 1669-72 hearth tax online which provides a bit more info than the 1674.

regards

Hi Deborah,

Thanks for your reply. A researcher friend rang Kendal Record's office & found that there are land tax records for the village of Dufton dated 1765 & 1773.

I have seen the 1666/72 hearth tax online thanks.

In Crosby Ravensworth land tax, would you mind looking to see if you have any Ellwoods/Elwoods or Dovers?

Thanks,

Gillian

The CR 1765 land tax only lists the owners not occupiers and excludes Birkbeck Fells.  There are no Ellwoods nor Dovers.

There are Ellwoods in the CR 1809 land tax.  Any interest?

1809 land tax for Crosby Ravensworth (but CR and Maulds Meaburn townships only covered):

In CR township - none

In Maulds Meaburn township for the year ended 5 April 1810:
William Ellwood occupying a property owned by Mr J Wilkinson assessed at 9s 3.25d
John Ellwood occupying a property owned by Mr Thomas Wilkinson assessed at £2 9s 4.5d
William Ellwood occupying a property owned by Mrs Thwaites assessed at £1 15s 9.5d
Collector: William Ellwood

Hope that helps.

Did you ever order any CR Ellwood wills?  If so, I would be very interested in any transcripts that you have.  (Well up until about the mid 19th century anyway.)
regards

Hi Deborah,

Thanks for that.

I have only one CR will for John Ellwood of Blasterfield dated 1884. John was born 1807 Bongate, son of William Ellwood (b Dufton) & Ann Simpson.

You're welcome.

That will is probably outside my scope of interest.  Thanks for the input though.

Hi Gillian

Sorry to hi-jack your thread but I wondered if you had connections with the following:

John Ellwood b1800 in Cartmel married Eleanor Harrington b1800 during Dec 1825 at Bootle in  Whitehaven

Margaret Ellwood (dau of above) b1830 in Gosforth married William Harrison b1826 Elslack, Yorks during July 1853 at Gosforth

John and Eleanor were my 3x gr grandparents through my Harrison line.

Thank you for your time.

Regards
