Land Tax Returns 1780-1832-look up pls

[Gloria]

I was wondering if some kind soul living near the Lancashire Records Office in Preston could do a look up for me. I am searching my WILKINSON family who lived in Simondstone 1816. I have record there is a Wilkinson Farm in Simondstone and still exists. I am trying to find out if Edmund and Catherine WHITEHEAD Wilkinson lived on this particular farm in 1816 where their son (my Great Grandfather) Robert Wilkinson was born. His birth record reads father's occupation as "Farmer". I understand the record will only show the head of the household. Even if it isn't an Edmund WILKINSON living there, I would appreciate knowing the name anyway as I have his sibling names.
The reference for Simondstone is QDL/B/69. They suggest I come to the office to consult these records which is impossible as I live in Canada. Anyone able to help me out here? Their rules info does not show any charge for this search but I would be more than pleased to reimburse any cost you incur by return post.

Thank you. Gloria.

I'm a descendant of Robert Wilkinson and Grace Lee.

I was in England last month. I wish I'd had this information then. I will be going back to England next year. If you can wait that long, I will look up the information you're seeking then.

I have tried to contact you by e-mail. Hopefully you're still using the same address!

Gloria, I spoke to my mom last night, and she says you're her first cousin. :)

Can you tell me a little about these Land tax returns that are at The Record office? Are they just for Lancashire? I have ancestors who were farming in the Fylde.
Thanks

The Land Tax assements cover the whole country and can be found in the relevant county record office. They generally include owners and occupiers of land and tax, those I've used do not identify individual properties.

In addition there are the Land Tax Redemption Office Quotas and Assessments for 1798-9 held by the National Archives in IR23. Related records in IR22 and IR24 include some maps and certificates by which it is possible to indentify some properties.
