This includes a transcript (HD11/1 : 4921/10.14) listing the taxpayers in all but two of the parishes in Blything Hundred who were assessed in 1642 (a few months before the Civil War) for a grant to fund the "necessary defence and great affaires of the Kingdomes of England and Ireland and for the payment of debts undertaken by the Parliament". > > Frostenden and Wrentham, the two parishes omitted by Redstone, are also missing from his ship-money book. However, transcripts of their May 1642 assessments are now available at https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=804448.0, along with information about the original parchment roll (E1/25), which, despite its eastern provenance, is now held by the SRO in Bury St Edmunds. > > The National Archives has similar rolls from Aldeburgh, Ipswich and the hundreds of Blackbourn, Samford, Thedwastre and Wangford.
