Project Instructions
This collection contains an 1865 rate book from the parish of Cheddar, Somerset, England.
Images containing information to be keyed should be classified as a "Rate Book" form type. From these images we are keying the name of the occupier and the owner.
Do not key the words "Himself" or "Herself". If these words appear in a column, copy the name of the person to which it is referring in both the occupier and owner fields. Owner names should still be keyed if there is no occupier listed. Only key the same occupier and owner pair once per image.
