Hi Listers: My g-g-g-grandfather, Samuel Wilkinson of Bradford, was a Whitesmith, and he is listed on the Land Tax Assessments for Bradford in 1781 and 1795, as a Proprietor and Occupant of a Cottage. From 1798 thru 1804, Samuel is the Proprietor, and the Occupant is his son, Bentley Wilkinson; another Occupant is listed from 1805 - 1810. In 1811, Samuel Wilkinson is the Proprietor, and the Occupant is Cass & Bates. The wording in the Tax Lists from 1811 on till 1832 (I stopped copying after 1832) were: Proprietor: Samuel Wilkinson, Late; Occupant, Cass & Bates - Top of North Gate. (Sometimes only Bates is listed). Could they have been solicitors for his "estate"? According to these records, I surmise that Samuel Wilkinson had died about 1811, and that his Cottage was located at the top of North Gate. From early maps it shows that the road North Gate runs into Manor Row. I am trying to determine if his Cottage was part of the Bradford Manor and if there are deeds for the Manor that would show the inhabitants. I searched the HMC and further searched the Manor Documents Register. It came up with "Manor Name: Bradford; Honour Name: Pontefract; Parish Name: Bradford. I really don't know what step to take next. Can anyone give me an idea of what I may try next? I would more than appreciate any help you may give me. Thank you. Ethe Zott Hebron, CT, USA
