Graham Maxwell Ancestry - Free Resources - Dumfriesshire Valuation Roll (1896-97)

Valuation rolls are great for genealogy and researching the history of your house. Valuation rolls were collected annually from 1854 to 1989. For each property in Scotland they record the name and designation of the proprietor, the tenant, the occupier and the annual rateable value. They do not list any other residents in a property. This volume Dumfriesshire 1896-97 is now online.
