THE RETURN OF OWNER’S OF LAND
1873: CORNWALL
Source:
Information
available CRO and in book form “The return of Owner’s of Land 1873: Cornwall”,
Published by R Cleaver & V Palmer, 1990
The
return was known as the “Modern Domesday” and came about as a result of
Parliamentary allegations that the 1861 census showed there were only 30,000
landowners. It was felt that this was a harmful monopoly.
The
figures given for Cornwall were:
Inhabited houses 73,950
No. of Parishes 217
The addresses given for landowners didn’t
always reflect where the land was, but where they were currently resided. There were not many names mentioned for
Breage, a few I have collected were place names known to be from Breage, but
could be of duplicate places elsewhere.
As always – check original documents for confirmation.
