Thrandeston Tithes - Search

Tithes were originally a tax which required one tenth of all agricultural produce to be paid annually to support the local church and clergy. After the Reformation much land passed from the Church to lay owners who inherited entitlement to receive tithes, along with the land.
By the early 19th century tithe payment in kind seemed a very out-of-date practice, while payment of tithes per se became unpopular, against a background of industrialisation, religious dissent and agricultural depression. The 1836 Tithe Commutation Act required tithes in kind to be converted to more convenient monetary payments called tithe rentcharge. The Tithe Survey was established to find out which areas were subject to tithes, who owned them, how much was payable and to whom.

Notes:

• The surname field must have an entry for the search to work.
• Inappropriate entries may result in incorrect or no data being returned.
• One useful strategy for finding what you require is to enter some appropriate criteria, view what appears, and, if too many or unwanted results are shown, select 'Change search values', alter the criteria to narrow the results and rerun the query.
• Records found are ordered by fullname.
• Field notes:
  1. Surname - any string of 2 to 12 letters or spaces that wholely or are in any place within the surname field, useful if used when unsure of spellings of names - not case specific (see below for wildcards).
• Wildcards - these are symbols that denote an unknown part of a string; % indicates 0, 1 or more characters and _ (underscore) a single character in a search. For example, using 'sm_th' will find smith and smyth. Also, remember that the chosen pattern of letters and wildcards can be anywhere in the field, eg: in surname, ST%L (or lower case) will find STarLing, conSTabLe, STeeLe, paSTaL, etc. Wildcards cannot be used in number or date fields.
