    1. [CHS] Weaverham Land Tax & Redemptions
    2. Barrie Sharples via
    3. Hi Folks, Can anyone with knowledge of the above tax system help me, please. Pursuing my KAY ancestors in the Crowton - Weaverham district I discovered a number of Land Tax Assessments which relate to my 3rd Gt Grandfather Richard Kay.(House & Land) These cover at least, the period 1805-23, include land who's Proprietor was either John or Geo. Bowe, *Assessed* was £1-15-6 (In every case) plus *Redeemed or Purchased* again £1-15-6 (In every case) almost all the viewed sheets for Weaverham this was the only entry where such redemption/purchase occurred. Apart from a change of owner from John bowe to Geo. Bowe (Son?) each entry is the same. I hope I haven;t confused the issue, the answer is probably very simple. Intrigued
