Ancestry starts adding Lloyd George's Doomsday

Under The Finance Act of 1910, introduced by Chancellor of the Exchequer David Lloyd George, a comprehensive assessment of the value of land and built property was called for as a basis for taxing increased value.

Ancestry, which calls the collection "London, England, Land Tax Valuations, 1910" has placed online original handwritten record images from TNA, with a free index. The records contain:

• District/ward
• Residence
• Tax date
• Proprietor name
• Tenant name
• Street
• Description of property
• Yearly rent or value

Online at present are only a small section of the London area records, for: Barnards Inn (Central London); City of London (Districts A to D); Cliffords Inn; New Inn; and Paddington (Harrow Road Ward, Hyde Park Ward, Maida Vale and Harrow Road, Queens Park, Westbourne Ward.

The first pages in most sections contain a semi-alphabetical (sorted at least by initial letter) street index.

None of my London-based relatives lived in the area. I found one who owned properties; his residence address in Ealing was given.
