Hi, Y'all, On the OPC site I found the following transcription when I did a search on HUGH PHILLIPS. [ The gentleman at the bottom of the list.] Can anyone explain what the subscriptions are for and what the numbers mean following their names? I am thinking this Hugh Phillips could be my great great grandfather, as he was from Illogan during this time. WEST BRITON ADVERTISER 08 Jan 1836 Subscriptions are received by all the Bankers in the County, by the Members of the Committee, and by Messrs. Praeds and Co. bankers, London.

Hi Meli The numbers are in English currency - £ S D - standing for Pounds, Shillings and pence. 12 pence made a shilling. 20 shillings made a pound. Hope this helps.
