It is surprising how many scraps of information have been kept. Even a poor man would have something to leave. There are wills just saying who should have which items of his household furniture and which daughter gets his best quilt. Try googling A2A, it can show you what documents have been kept.

Ooooooo Linda I'm jealous! lol 80 grand eh? Bet that was quite a bit in those days. Have you got an ancestor who was a notorious gambler? lol. Let us know how much it would be worth in today's money - I want to borrow a tenner! lol Jeanette x

My g.g grandfather left £80,000 in 1869. What happened to it? Just how much would that be in todays values? ( actually someone told me a site to look it up on ...so I shall) The will gave me so much information and addresses of other family members, lots to work on now! Well worth the five pounds to get a copy. Linda x
