TitleAccount book of Stephen Dumelow, farmer, of Weston upon Trent
Date1790s-c1804
Description[At front of volume: copy of notice that there will be a shooting for a silver ? watch at the New Inn, Aston, with details of size of gun barrels etc]

The accounts chiefly date from 1799 but there are a very few entries 1794-1798. Notes of old debts are entered on 11th and 12th leaves, 1777, 1789-1796. Many entries are not clearly dated by year.

It is not always clear whether entries relate to payments or to receipts, but Dumelow appears to have been purchasing malt and hops and selling ale (as well as much smaller quantities of tobacco, cheese and bread). Much of the volume consists of accounts with individual customers. Other entries relate to farming (payment for labour, carriage of clover, etc., carriage of cheese to Shardlow Wharf, bulling of cows, sows brimmed). Other persons' sows were brimmed (serviced) for a fee. Some carriage was undertaken for other persons, coal carriage is accounted for but it is not clear whether for Dumelow or others. Entries also record payment of levies and rates, and loans made.
