Gender Male Tax records 1666 Hearth Tax - John Gilcrist of South Shields is listed as a non-solvant in an index to the Co. Durham hearth tax returns, meaning he was too poor to be liable.
It seems that this was particularly common in Co. Durham, with a shocking degree of poverty, as explained in the introduction to the county's returns.
In fact, in most of South Shields over 55% of households were exempt! (as shown on this map)
