Hello!
I am currently working on a stubborn brickwall and, as part of that, I am trying to prove or disprove that one Job Boulton of Bridgnorth, Shropshire, is the same man as Job Boulton of Droitwich, Worcestershire, the son of my brickwall ancestor (also named Job). If he is, I open up a number of leads (he was mentioned as the cousin of Mary Rudge of Feckenham and Evesham in her 1755 will).
He himself left a will in 1777 that, sadly, doesn't prove the identification. He left property in Shropshire and Worcestershire, and also two shares in what is termed the "Chester Anuity". I have no idea exactly what this was, and my google skills are failing me.
I am hoping someone can shed some light on this.
Thanks!
