Leading family history website TheGenealogist is delighted to announce the release of the Lloyd George Domesday Survey records for Cambridgeshire. This exciting addition offers researchers a detailed view of land and property ownership and occupancy.
The records give information about the person living at an address and the type of property they had. Details within the field books can include plans and detailed descriptions of properties that provide a unique snapshot of local communities during a period of significant social change.
The Lloyd George Domesday Survey was carried out between 1910 and 1915 to create a comprehensive record for tax purposes. The newly released Cambridgeshire records link rich field books and large-scale hand-annotated Ordnance Survey maps, allowing users to pinpoint exactly where ancestors lived, what land they owned or occupied, and details about the properties themselves.
This latest release includes:
-
164,524 individuals and businesses pinned to maps on MapExplorerTM
-
Covering over 1,000 square miles
-
Searchable field book entries naming owners and occupiers
-
Precise property descriptions including size, usage, and value
-
Detailed mapping of each property using contemporary Ordnance Survey maps
