Overseer's Rates and Land Tax c. 1800
« on: Sunday 13 May 07 21:51 BST (UK) »
Can anyone tell me how it was decided how much Land Tax and what proportion of the overseer's accounts our ancestors should pay? Was is based on the amount of land they farmed or income or some other criteria?

I'd be very grateful for any advice.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Stan, for the link. Anyone got similar information for overseers' assessments?
