Transcriber's notes

The amount against the 58 hearths belonging to the said Sir George is unclear but arithmetically should be £48.12.0 and has been transcribed as such.
Total appears to have been changed from £173.0.0 to £175.0.0. The latter is correct arithmetically and has been transcribed as such.

These taxes include the Carriage tax (1785-1798), Cart tax (1785-1798), Clock and watch tax (1797-1798), Dog tax (1797-1798), Farm horse tax (1797-1798), Servant tax (1777-1798), Hearth tax (1691-1695), Horse tax (1785-1798), Inhabited house tax (1778-1798), Land tax (1645-1831), Poll tax (1694-1698), Shop tax (1785-1789), Window tax (1748-1798). Following the Consolidating Acts (38 Geo.
