ST. AUSTELL
1840 TITHE APPORTIONMENT INDEX

   From Tithe Apportionment Documents held by C.R.O., transcribed by J. Mosman
for the St. Austell History & Genealogy website


.

The Tithe Apportionment Act of 1836 converted the old tithe system into a new, apportioned system of payment based on the amount of land available for cultivation, and the quality of that land. Each parish in Cornwall was surveyed, with detailed maps drawn for every property no matter how small or large. Each owner, lessee, and most occupiers of land in 1839 were included. These maps, and attendant indexes, are held at C.R.O.; they have now been digitized and are available for purchase. See below for their webpage. We DO NOT have the Tithe Map online.

 

The St. Austell index is dated April 1839.



Entries in our index are arranged by number, which groups properties by hamlet, neighbourhood, and area, as surveyed, rather by land owner as did the original. Pages were determined by numbers of lines - it might prove worthwhile to check previous and following pages if you do not find the information on the page you're viewing. All information on the original is included in our transcription except for monetary amouts. (The original includes the amount of valuation, amount of tithes paid to vicar, and the amounts paid to the Large titheholders; we've merely included the initials of these individuals to show who received the funds.)

Please note spellings may be different than today; many names appear to be spelled phonetically or with English spelling; Trevisik, Treelees, Trevithic, Kessil, all appear. Even the ROWSE family of Tregonissey is consistently shown as "ROUSE" - not to mention "Polglaize".
