Transcriber's notes
The surveyor has made an idiosyncratic and presumably erroneous use of the column entitled Actual Number of Shops. Instead of specifying the number of shops held by each inhabitant he has added the numbers up (in this page each inhabitant has only one shop) so that the last entry matches the total.Transcribers who have contributed to this page.
