The following records are extracted from the Land Tax records for
Bradford and District, Yorkshire, England, 1704. The tax was levied at 4 shillings to the
pound. No Jowett entries were found for the townships of Shipley, Hunsworth, Bradford,
Pudsey, North Byerley or Wike; This does not mean there were no Jowetts in these
townships, merely that those that were there did not own their own land.
