Hi,
I have obviously googled, but can any of you lovely people please give me a dummy's guide?
My 4 times great grandfather, George Bessell, died in 1829 leaving his wife, Martha Bessell, and their 6 children. On Ancestry I can see Orders of Removal and Settlement Papers (both St Leonard, Shoreditch, London) dated 11 July 1829. Also Settlement Papers dated 7 Mar 1834, again Shoreditch (Martha had remarried and was now Martha Hamlin).
Both Settlement Papers reference the renting by George of ?9 Fan Street at £40 per annum.
Any insight into what the documents tell us would be very gratefully received.
Thanks in advance.
