Lists of freeholders were produced annually and recorded the names of those who qualified for jury service. To be a juror, one had to be between the age of 21 and 70 and own a freehold property worth at least 40 shillings.
Freehold lists are an excellent early source for family historians. These lists were comprised decades before the first census of England and Wales.
