Bankruptcy Details - England 1887
« on: Monday 13 July 15 18:59 BST (UK) »
Hello,
I have an ancestor, John Henry Turgoose Ellison, who was declared bankrupt in 1887 in the London Gazette. I was wondering if there is any way to find out more detail of the bankruptcy such as the circumstances surrounding it and who he owed money to.
Many thanks for any help or advice you can offer :-)
