Lanarkshire / Re: Loans detailed in will

That is a very good point indeed, Rena. Thank you for raising it.

If anyone else can enlighten me about moneylending in Glasgow, I am still interested.

Thank you all for your thoughts.

Yes, still_looking, the the majority of loans were to his son. How would a labourer be able to afford to lend any money in the first instance? His son was a marine engineer so would be earning more as an officer.

Thanks Rena - going to try and delve a bit deeper into it.

GrahamSimons - thanks for the info!

Lanarkshire / Loans detailed in will

Dear collective wisdom,

Would anyone have any thoughts on the attached details from a 1895 will.

This man was a labourer in Glasgow and I wish to find out more about him. Would he have been a moneylender? How did people start out as one - where did they get the money to begin with etc.

Many thanks,

Nic

Isle of Man / Dorothy Annie Sayle

Hi,

I am looking for information on Dorothy (Dolly) Annie Sayle nee Solly who married Norman Sayle in Deptford 1946. They had one daughter, Heather and lived in Bride.

I would be most grateful for any information anyone may have. I am fairly sure that Dorothy died in 1966 but apart from that I know nothing else.

Many thanks,
