London Land Tax records

I have a Joseph / Jos Oxborough appearing between 1747 and 1750. St Mary  Whitechapel.

I'm wondering what the numbers are for before his name.
The other people have numbers but not in sequence.
Any ideas please.

It's on Ancestry. He is in other years in the same area.

£1 4s rate paid. Twice the amount paid for an ordinary dwelling in that area, as the number to the left signifies, so probably a somewhat larger house.

It's 6, actually,  but the amount matches other entries on previous pages for 6.
Thanks for that.

I might have misunderstood. Sorry .

It would appear that the rate had been set at 4s. Each property was given a 'multiplier' depending upon its size and usage  ... that's the number to the left.
So, the ordinary dwellings had a multiplier of 3, therefore they paid 12s; your Joseph had a multiplier of 6, so he paid £1 4s.
