Sarah's marriage to Henry LINSLEY
Whilst working as a domestic in East Lutton (14 miles / 22km north-west of Driffield) Sarah met Henry LINSLEY, a journeyman joiner from East Lutton. However, the family remember Sarah's surname as Lindsley. This has caused some confusion in the Enumerator transcription.

Nafferton Post Office from the 1910 Valuation Survey
'The Valuation Survey 1910-15 was made for tax administration following the 1910 budget. They show the use and value of lands and buildings in Edwardian England and Wales. ... [It was] aimed to ensuring that private landowners should pay part of the increase in land values that was attributable not to their own labour and efforts for improvements but to expenditure by the State - for example the provision of improved roads, drainage and other public services. ... The 1910 Act provided for the levying of a number of duties on land, the principal one being called increment value duty. This was levied at the rate of 20% on any increase in the site value of land between the time of its initial valuation as at 30 April 1909 and the occasion of its sale or other transfer.' ... Many land owners won legal challenges the Act until it 'was repealed by the Finance Act 1920. The valuation survey had cost two million pounds, not a fraction of which was recovered.' Source: Beech and Mitchell, 'Maps for Family and Local History', The National Archives, Kew, 2004, page 36.
| Alan BEBBINGTON was the freehold owner and occupier of the house, shop
and garden of an unknown extent in High Street Nafferton. The building was described as a
brick and slate roof construction comprising of a shop, room, kitchen, four bedrooms and
a store. Outside was a brick and tile washhouse and closet, stable and coach house. The
premise were in fairly good repair. However, the wooden coal shed was 'almost
down'. In total repairs were estimated at £1:10:0 (One pound ten shillings or £1.50).
The Gross Value of the property was £300 being the annual value of £16:10:0 (£16.50) less the value of the repairs multiplied by 25 years. The site value, void of structures and things growing, was £45. Right: 1910 Valuation Survey showing Nafferton Post Office |
