Land and Window Tax Assessments
A Gibson Guide Published by Famil History Partnership
with Mervyn Medlycott and Dennis Mills
The Land Tax was introduced in the late 17th century and was only finally abolished in the mid 20th. Its value to family historians (and indeed many others) is that it lists, year by year, the names of the proprietors of land in each parish, and also (in theory) the names of the actual occupiers. It can also give some indication of the economic standing of those named. The same can be said for Window Taxes, although not so many of the latter records have survived. A county-by-county listing shows the dates and whereabouts of Land and Window Tax returns for England and Wales, and associated sources.

Quarter Session Records for Family Historians
A Gibson Guide Published by Famil History Partnership
with assistance from Else Churchill, Tony Foster and Richard Ratcliffe
Quarter Sessions records are potentially the most useful source for filling in the background in family history research. In addition to the Sessions’ role as judicial authority in cases of minor crime (which continued until 1972), they were the administrative body of each county before the establishment of county councils. Dating from medieval times, their records often extend back to Tudor times (or even earlier).
Although not intended as a genealogical source, records of settlement and, occasionally, apprenticeship may provide such direct evidence. More relevant is the ‘lucky dip’ which may mention family members as magistrates, offenders or witnesses, holders of minor administrative office and a host of other occupations. Categories of likely use are listed on the inside cover.
