Lay subsidies 1600 to 1640s

Charles E. Banks (d. 1931), created a 'census' index to subsidy men in many English counties covering the period 1600 to 1640s. Not all inhabitants were subsidy men, only those who met the income threshold to be taxed, which varied year-by-year. Banks didn't cover all counties or index all lists for counties he included. His original notebooks are stored in the Library of Congress. FamilySearch has digitalised their copies. Access requires free registration at FamilySearch.
