The 1798 Land Tax assessments are different! They went to the Public Record Office (now the National Archives at Kew) for use by the clerks recording the owners who were exonerated from the tax - essentially these owners had bought it out with a capital sum (much needed by the government at the time to help finance the Napoleonic Wars). These would have been much easier for the LDS to film.

Go into Google and put in "Family History Library Catalog." The site will come up. At the top of the page will be list of different things - look for the one that says Library. Hit the mouse against it and up will come the word "library catalog." that's what you want Once you are in that site, it will ask what record do you want. Write in: Land Tax Assessments and up should come over 5,000 records. One of them will be for Cardiganshire. The only years they have are for 1798/1799 but its a help considering you don't have a census until 1841.
