In 1872 Local Government Boards were ordered
to compile a list of owners of land from ratings records.
Those for England and Wales were published as Parliamentary
papers as "Return of Owners of Land, 1873" (House
of Commons Papers 1874 (C.1097) Parts 1 and 2). This is also
sometimes referred to as the New or Modern Domesday Book.
The lists were published in the Derby Mercury in 1876[2].
Entries for Matlock & Matlock Bath only.
Crich, Riber, Tansley, Bonsall etc are not included.
