Blue12 I'm not sure why you say "his widow must have been left well off,that's nice to know". |

Yes, but at the time, because wages were approx ten times less than they are now, it would have appeared like £3,614.64 of earnings to a person at the time. |

So Brinsley you believe that what is perhaps four or five weeks of earnings is leaving someone "well off"? However you look at this sum of money it is not leaving anyone "well off". |

I didn't say that at all. My point was that in this case it might be more appropriate to compare the earnings figure. |
