TRANSCRIPTION OF POOR BOOK OF THE TITHINGS OF WESTBURY-ON-TRYM, STOKE BISHOP AND SHIREHAMPTON 1656 TO 1698 by H. J. Wilkins

Description

This book deals with an unsettled period of English History, for it runs from 1656 to 1698 which is a period that embraces part of the Protectorate (1653 to 1659), the restored Commonwealth (1659), the reign of Charles II (1660 to 1685) the reign of James II (1685 to 1688) and William and Mary to 1689.

As with all “Poor Books” it deals with the income and disbursement to the poor. There are many hundreds of people listed either as paying the poor rate or receiving payments and will be of great interest to those studying the area or with ancestors in these parishes. There is no index but it is fully searchable
