The manuscripts upon which this dataset is based are held at either Westminster Archives Centre (all rating material); or else the London Metropolitan Archives. Included in this data series are 56,430 names of individual male ratepayers, including their street of residence and the name of their parish. A rateable value– the notional annual rental value of the house – is also given to the nearest pound. With a perfectly clear and well-formed original text, an accuracy rate well over 99% was achieved. However, difficulties in deciphering 17th- and 18th-century handwriting, fading, tears and blots in the original, and distortions introduced by the processes of microfilming and image digitisation reduced the level of accuracy in some places. Where a perfectly accurate reading of the text is required, users are strongly advised to consult the original document images also provided in London Lives, orWestminster Archives Centre, St Clement Danes Vestry Minutes, 4 January 1754, B1068, LL ref: WCCDMV362090299.
