Newspaper entries!

The things you find when you're looking for something else  :o

Loved these notices in the London Evening Standard of 1880.  The imagination can run riot  :D :D

Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!

Love the last one!  ;D
A great string of letters - and then it has a question mark after them!

"see many previous advertisements since 31st July"

Maybe it would be possible to work out the code by looking at the earlier communications.

5000£ looks like could be a key to the code

numbers before £ not after

5 -1/2= 0.5

1 divided by 2 =0.5

50/50 (2 x 50 = 100) Half of a whole

Keyboard letters £=3 (QWERTY) (before 3 £)

Three 000

Before a £ is 240 pennies 20 shilling and 40 tanners
