Ok .. wild card ... anything to do with assessments presented to Elizabeth I for the first charges of a Poll Tax ?

You've finally got your mind in the right era, but its nowt to do with Poll Tax.
Its just one of 8 pages of a court case and dispute about the ownership of a parcel of land in the Tippet of Ogden, when the river Ogden changed its course due to erosion.
The case was'nt resolved and was sent to Westminster.
I could never find any further reference to this case at the P.R.O.
attached one of the pages translated.
