New tithe maps added to The Genealogist
« on: Friday 26 February 16 17:28 GMT (UK) »
We had Simpsons & Robsons in Park Shields Warden in 1850's. Probably all the land belonged to the Duke. What kind of information is given and can anyone have a peep?

Many were forced off the land in 1870s or before and people flooded into the cities. Being a coal miner afterbeing an agricultural or  out door labourer hardly seems a logical choice. :-*

If you want to know what a tithe map shows this Norfolk site http://historic-maps.norfolk.gov.uk/tithe.aspx explains Tithe maps, and you can see examples at http://historic-maps.norfolk.gov.uk/mapimageviewer/. You can also see examples of tithe maps for Cheshire at  http://maps.cheshire.gov.uk/tithemaps/
They are not the same as enclosure maps http://historic-maps.norfolk.gov.uk/enclosure.aspx
