Use the Wealth at death search to search through our records of assessments of the wealth of people in the dictionary at the time of their death.
First, choose a type of record: Official records are assessments made at death for tax purposes; any other assessment is classed as Other; or you can choose to search All records.
Enter a value (in £) in the Amount field; use the dropdown to qualify as less than or equal to (<=), equal to (=), or more than or equal to (>=).
Many assessments do not include monetary figures: search for descriptive words (such as bankrupt, wealthy) in the description field.
