You would use this search if you are looking for a company (for example John Brown Ltd), multiple tenants, public authorities, churches, multiples owners (for example Mr and Mrs Smith, John and Jean MacDonald), trustees or heirs to individuals (for example the heirs of the late Robert MacKay or the trustees of Miss Elizabeth Black).
Not all names listed in a roll will be included in the group field. Where the names of heirs are listed along with the name of the deceased only the name of the deceased is captured for example (the heirs of the late Robert MacKay), where there is a list of multiple tenants or proprietors only the first one or two names are captured. This is due to the limited number of characters allowed per field.
Spelling of words in the group field may not be as you might expect due to:
- Names and other words being captured as they are spelt on the valuation rolls
- Abbreviations of some words for example (TRS or TRUST for Trustees, EXCS or EXECS for Executors) – see our list of the more common abbreviations.
