Libby, do you believe in ghosts?!

[Merry]

Oooh, you were right - I've found it in the Daily News. Would you like me to post the image?

I see he was declared bankrupt in the Feb before Agatha's divorce case, despite being married to an heiress!

Merry...it's in The Daily News Nov 14, 1864.

[HarrysMum]

You found it....lol


Thanks...I found it as well.

[Merry]

Another Bristol court case for the same year as the divorce?

Libby, if you have Gale access, try searching for Charles Copley in the 19thC papers. You will find this interesting:

BRISTOL COURT OF BANKRUPTCY .
The Bristol Mercury (Bristol, England), Saturday, February 28, 1846

Is Edward Clark acting for Wm James Dunsford? (I hate all the legalese!)

[HarrysMum]

OK..will take a look.

There's another Clark (doctor) mentioned as well but i think (hope) it's just coincidence...lol

I have just downloaded the will of William Besley Dunsford and some Crowdy ones. Not sure what they say yet and they are those unreadable PCC ones....so could be a while.

[HarrysMum]

Blimey...I dunno......I work in maths not law...lol

Wasn't Raymond Coles Dunsford, Bill and Matilda's baby. He was only born 1846.

[HarrysMum]

I think the bankruptcy one was Dunsford v Clark. Dunsford had to pay Clark for the use of his wife......or something...lol

There's another in Bristol Mercury where Henry Clark and Dunsford are parting ways.

There's also another where Dunsford and (Gawd...I fogot) disolved the mining agency partnership just before Dunsford died.

Yes, he was their only child. I think Matilda may have banished Wm from the bedroom when she found out about Agatha! Raymond went to live in Calcutta. He went bankrupt eventually (Gazette)
