These records from the Society of Genealogists cover the period 1717-1845. They contain extracts of wills of those who died with monies in public funds, as well as abstracts of orders made for stockholders who went bankrupt or were declared ‘lunatic’.
One of the best features of these records is that they cover a wide social demographic, from servants to gentry, making it possible to find ancestors from a broad range of backgrounds. The records cover every part of the British Isles and the Colonies and there are also several hundred Dutch fundholders in the index.
