 London, England, ausgewählte Ratenbücher, 1684-1907

Raten wurden in jeder Kirchgemeinde zur Unterstützung der Kranken und Armen, zur Wartung von Straßen und Kirchen und für andere Ausgaben der Kirchgemeinde gesammelt. Diese Datenbank enthält Ratenbücher, die in den städtischen Archiven von London für Kirchgemeinden in London geführt wurden. (Hinweis: Es gibt Lücken für einige Gebiete, und etwa die Hälfte des Inhalts gehört zur Kirchgemeinde St. Dunstan im Osten.)

Rates were collected in each parish for support of the sick and poor, maintenance of roads and church, and other parish expenses. This database includes rate books held at the London Metropolitan Archives for parishes in London. (Note: There are gaps in coverage for some areas, and approximately half the content is from the parish of St. Dunstan in the East.)

Rates were assessed based on a dwelling’s value. These records include a listing of who occupied the house, who owned the house, the type of dwelling, the name or situation of the property, how much rent was collected, and the rates paid. In some cases you may need to page forward for the rent and rate details which appear on the next page.
