1. they are more accurate; 2. they are searchable; 3. they link persons named in the Military Survey and Subsidies to householders named in the Enumeration.

The five spreadsheets are accompanied by extensive Editorial Notes. The project is related to Mary H.M. Hulton's printed edition of all four returns in Coventry and its People in the 1520s (Dugdale Society, 38, 1999), but they improve on that edition in three ways:

3. Householders assessed and taxed in the 1524 Subsidy. 4. Householders assessed and taxed in the 1525 Subsidy. 5. A final spreadsheet tracing links among these households, working out from the 1523 Enumeration to households in the earlier Muster and the two later Subsidies.

1. Householders described in the exceptionally detailed Military Survey of 1522. 2. Households described in the 1523 "Enumeration" of the city which named all householders (men, widows, and singlewomen) and counted wives, servants, apprentices, lodgers, and children. .
