It sounds as if he was living elsewhere:

....he hath left the said House [ie in Tottenham Place] about twelve Months since which time he hath not rented any house tenement or Lodging of ten Pounds a year paid Taxes or done any Act matter or thing whereby he might have gained a Subsequent Settlement to the best of this Examinants Knowledge Information or belief

Well done finding Isaac, Merry.

When I first read the settlement statement, I thought it sounded as if Isaac had left Sarah.

Some of the entries in the Land Tax Redemption have "inmas" after them, so I don't think it means the named person was an inmate in an institution. I wonder if it means he had sub-tenants.

Yes, I think so.

Thomas, son of John and Alice Edlin, was buried 16 Jun 1799 at Uxbridge.

Oh, their son William was buried 17 Nov 1799. Hmm, back to the drawing board...

The William who was a tailor should have been born roughly 1787, going form the 1851 census, which is about the same time as vita's Thomas.

Well ladies,(would I be right there) you are amazing. I can't tell you how impressed I am.
Things are looking a lot different than they did a week ago.
I've always wondered why Sarah was making the declaration & not Isaac, but presumed it
was because he had b****** off, but on reading it again a couple of weeks ago, thought it
might mean he just hadn't been working & so hadn't paid taxes or been able to support his
family. Wouldn't it be a little odd for her to omit saying what his circumstances were if he
was still around but incarceratde? What was a chapman?
