Land Tax Redemption 1798 Now On Ancestry

[saw119]

Discovered this today and it's pretty brilliant. These records list names of both owners and occupants of property in England and Wales that was subject to the national land tax. Because this was a national tax, these records provide almost a mini census. If your ancestor was a landowner or renter, they will very likely be listed in these records. I have found lots of my ancestors as both tenants and landlords and you can find out which street they lived on in 1798! Just to whet your appetite I've attached one of the pages. Hope you enjoy!
