Searching through the Gazette archives site, I have found three brothers of my great x 4 grandmother appearing together in 1858 under Court For Relief of Insolvent Debtors.
It says - the following prisoners, whose Estates and Effects have veen vested in the Provisional Assignee by Order of the Court of Relief of Insolvent Debtors, and whose Petitions and Schedules, duly filed, have been severally referred and transmitted to the County Courts hereinafter mentioned, pursuant to the Statute in that behalf, are ordered to be brought up before the Judges of the said Courts respectively, as herein set forth, to be dealt with according to the Law
My understanding is that the brothers (all once silk weavers) had fallen into debt and gone to debtors prison? But I don't really understand and would be grateful if someone who does could explain please:-)
