Valuation Rolls.....

Post by Ted » Fri Dec 02, 2005 6:54 pm

Hi Everyone

Can anyone suggest where the valuation rolls will be held for Aberdeen City - I need to request a look-up for 81 Jute Street in 1904 - 05. The info on the rolls should tell me who owned the property and who the tenants (if any) were. It might also give me an indication if the property was a single dwelling or a tenament type. That address is currently for sale in Aberdeen but from the Estate Agents photo - it does not look as if it dates from any earlier than 1930's.

Thanks lots

Ted

Hi Ted
I think they are at NAS,
The NAS holds copies of all valuation rolls until 1989
but I guess there might also be duplicates somewhere nearer to Aberdeen as well?

Have a look at:

Best wishes
