Tithe Apportionment Updates

Dec 2025 Jan 2026

Not updates on the Tithes, but on what I do with them and the process I use.

I have recently completed the Nursling Tithe Apportionment spreadsheet and used the data to create an ESRI Story Map as part of the Nursling One Place Study.

The spreadsheet used to record the data needed reworking as the Agreement had Leese and Lessor in addition to Landowner and Occupier.

All the previous Tithe Apportionment spreadsheets were built on the previous, apart from the first one obviously, Similar but different.

I though I had enough examples to make it worth creating a Template from the Nursling Tithe Apportionment spreadsheet.

Which I have done.

I am now reworking all the previous Tithe Apportionment parish spreadsheets to fit the template. Hopefully, I wont have to change the structure of the template to accommodate the earlier data. If I do have to, I will have to repeat the cycle of reworking until, it all fits harmoniously.

The idea is still to keep the spreadsheets as separate entities, and datasets, but to use Excel Power Query and Data Manager, to absorb all of the data into a single dataset from which all information can be compared and filtered, all within the same system and schema.

One Drive has been reconfigured accordingly, together with the concept as pulling together Census data and Parish Register data, such as baptisms. The later two are in early stages of development so there will be more about that here later.

The first Tithe Apportionment spreadsheet being remastered is Millbrook. It is not a short process.

Update from Joomla 3.10 to Joomla 4

This is the equivalent to major heart surgery.

There have been a lot of behind the scene changes, some of which have impacted what you can see and how you see it.

I have been chasing down those changes since the upgrade.

Please feel free to contact me if you find one of the remaining glitches.
