I have found a lot of records and newspaper clippings for my above ancestor and added them to the gallery
probably a stupid question but are there any other records that I can find to give me a clue how he got all the property that was sold in his will.
I can't actually find his first wife as I know he was a widower when he married my ancestor Lydia Thornloe, and I also know he has a step daughter Jane on his death.
He must have had property early on as found tax record in Brubb Street
I have a timeline for the newspaper cuttings
Oct 14 1848
takes on the Broad Arrow, Milton Street.
5 March 1851
Grocers being disposed of
8 May 1851
Eating House to let, and empty house and shop
5 July 1852 for sale
Broad Arrow public house
85 & 88 Milton street and 9 Type street
18 Houses Crown court
95 Milton street
12 Houses in Camden Court
17 November 1853
Renting out the eating house
Feb 21 1856 assets for sale following his death:
2 houses with shops in Type Street, Finsbury
6 houses in Broad Arrow Court, Milton Street
Large house and coffee shop, Milton Street
12 houses adjoining Camden Court
Was inspired to 'write a story' about him following on from PaulC posts - but can't quite piece him together.
