That remarkable exhumation of the illustrious and long-buried dead, excited a deep and long-sustained interest, not only in the history of those noble personages, but also in the annals of the monastery they had founded, and in many cognate but hitherto much-neglected matters of research." By 1858 the membership had risen to about 550, and the tenth volume of Sussex Archaeological Collections had been published. The membership list gives christian name or initials and surname, and address. An asterisk prefixed to a name denotes a Life Compounder. 1872-1874 Infants in Irish Workhouses Return, "with Christian and Surname of each, of Infants Born in Irish Workhouses, or Admitted thereto when Healthy under Twelve Months Old, and attempted to be Reared therein during the Years 1872 to 1874, showing what has since become of them".

Taken from LFHHS yahoo forum Source Books *Hearth Tax Secrets* The Hearth Tax of 1662 was enacted 13-14 Charles II. c. 10. The mechanism of the tax was thus that each owner or occupier of any house, edifice, lodging or chamber was obliged by 31 May 1662 to deliver an account in writing to the constable(s) (or headborough(s) or tythingman/men) of all hearths and stoves within the house &c; the constable(s) then to immediately enter the house (during the daytime) to verify the return. Where there was no occupier, a written notice having been affixed to the door by the constable(s), they were to enter within six days to make their own assessment. Thus the tax embraced occupied and unoccupied buildings. (sec. iii). The constable(s) were then to deliver all the papers - the returns from the households, their amendments and their own surveys - together with a list of the names of all such persons refusing to furnish an account, at the next quarter sessions following 31 May 1662 to the justices of the peace (sec. iv). The justices were next required to cause the returns to be enrolled by the clerk of the peace for the county (or riding or division), and the clerk additionally to make a transcript on parchment, to be delivered into the Exchequer within a month from the receipt of the returns from the constables (sec. v). Hence it is that there are few areas of England for which the full 1662 hearth tax returns do not survive, either in the National Archives or in the county record offices. The first payment was due 29 September 1662 (sec. i). No person who was exempt from church or poor rates by reason of poverty was required to pay the hearth tax (sec. xvii). In addition, the parish poor law mechanism was invoked to identify further households inadequate to pay the hearth tax (sec. xviii). If the churchwardens and overseers of the poor, together with the minister of the parish (or any two of them, the minister being one) certified in writing to the two nearest justices of the peace that the house was not worth more than 20s a year upon the full improved rent, and that neither the householder nor anyone using the property had, used or occupied any lands worth 20s a year, nor had any land, goods or chattels worth £10 or more, that house was to be exempt from the hearth tax, and the householder was not to be listed in the return made by the constable(s) (sec. xviii). So, apart from this last provision, which was at first rarely invoked but became commonplace later, the hearth tax returns should, in theory, give a complete list of householders, including those unable to pay the tax, in the summer of 1662. This is a key moment for those genealogists who have been relying mainly on baptisms, marriages and deaths from the parish registers to reconstruct their family trees, because most parish registers were disrupted - or are even completely lacking - from about 1640 to 1660, the Civil War and Commonwealth periods. This is all very straightforward, but many an interesting fact has been discovered by looking at the parish register entries and the hearth tax returns in tandem. For instance, let us suppose that the ancestor in question, say John Smith, married to a Mary nee Jones, had children baptized in the period 1660 to 1670 in Newbury parish church. Does he appear in the 1662 hearth tax? He will only be there if he was a householder; what is more interesting than finding him is not finding him. Since he was definitely living in the parish, he was most likely living with his parents or his wife's parents. Clearly any Smith or Jones listed in the hearth tax becomes a likely father/father-in-law. Equally, if he does appear, that fact makes it much more likely that he had moved into the parish or that his father was dead. In fact, for a whole range of scenarios a careful consideration of the hearth tax returns (which also survive for some later years through to about 1670) can be very rewarding. *Surname Source Books* 13,830 Surnames Available www.theoriginalrecord.com/database/ebooks <http://theoriginalrecord.us4.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=9bb299c75702434cca4f0b1e0&id=5dac1a9da8&e=d373e9e7ab> Collections of entries for individual surnames from historical records from the British Isles and colonies from the 11th to the 20th centuries, hand indexed and extracted by surname, and available as ebook (£75) or DVD (£90).

Eventually found what I was looking for in an old notebook, scribbled in pencil and written as seen. Mel, you may want to put this elsewhere under it's own heading. I had written at the top of the page Poll Tax Returns of 1379-81 then "don't have", then underneath Hearth Tax returns of 1660-1670's---so that is what I was looking for, then a list of letters/numbers MFI27-29 E179/250/13 E179/132/351. 355. 25/5/73 Briercliffe w Extwistle widora Wilkinfon (widow Wilkinson?) -- 2 Neatherwade -- 3 Marsden Will Wade now John Spencer -- 4 Gylor Hindle -- 2 Hearth Tax 06-05-00 Broa---hffe in Extwistle 06.0800 Menoafoor -- 3 Sannoll Blarkup -- 2 Will Halfloor --1 Breercliffe cum Extwistle Jo Parker Esq --11 Rob Parker --2 Jo Parker --1 Ellis Nutter --1 Rob Parker --1 Joi Parker --1 Marsden ? Kipoe (Edward?) --1 ?ith Kipoe (Richard?) --2 Jo Kippax (John?) --4 This must have been years ago as I take more care in identifying things now as to what they are and where they are from, just blundered on back in the olden days glad to have found anything |
