Hi Listers I have been researching my Mais ancestors in the London Gazette and found a series of Jamaican Government Notices relating to Henry Mais (1805 to c1888) stating that money deposited in the Treasury on account of his insolvent estate was to be claimed by the Government. I wondered if anyone could please advise me where any records declaring his estate to be insolvent would be archived. The Notices appeared in 1894/5 and contained the names of several other Jamaicans whose estates were insolvent and who other listers may be interested in. Jamaican researchers of landholders might also be interested to know that there were a number of Government Notices during the 1870/1880s listing many plantations, estates, etc, for which land taxes were in arrears.
