    1. [YORKSGEN] Beverley - Hearth Tax - locations
    2. Bill Webster
    3. Could I request some help, please, from anyone more familiar with Beverley and the Hearth Tax. I have been looking at http://www.hearthtax.org.uk/communities/eastriding/index.html. Can I confirm the online records are from 1672? Was this the only return or will there be more years to come? And what do the Mem Refs relate to, as in m.1, m.1d, m.2, etc.? The family name that I am researching appears in a number of Constaularies/Wards. If I can, it may prove useful to identify where each of these were. They obviously relate to quite small areas within the town. I think I can relate these to present places and roads but I would welcome correction. Saturday Market ward would be around the market, sort of north/centre. Toll Gavel ward would be south/centre. Within North Bar ward would be north of the Saturday Market. Newbegin and Lairgate ward is south and west of the market? Norwood, Hengate and Walkergate is east and north of the market? Beckside and Barleyholme ward is south and east, towards Hull? Thanks for any clarification. Bill
