Notes

  • In other rate documents the following alternative spellings have been seen which appear to refer to the same people/places:-
    Bratfield/Bradfield, Dun/Dunn, Keddall/Keddell, Phenn/Fenn?
  • Robert Mallows Junior and James Smith had paid 15*Yearly rate so that no more tax was payable on their land.
  • The quality of the fiche is very poor.
