If it was £1,000 then that would be equivalent of over £100,000 by todays reckoning. |

I have been lucky enough to find a newpaper report of an ancester's marriage in 1765. It states the bride had "a fortune of 1000l". Does the l mean pounds or some other monetry unit? My lot seemed to be quite well off back then, I wonder where all the money went! Cheers, Moira. |
