Have I missed something? I just had an email from this mailing list saying that my posting to the list would not be delivered until I had gone to dropspam for authentication. I wasnt aware that such a thing had been introduced on the rootsweb mailing lists. Could someone explain please? Sandra

Judy, I am not an expert, but if a company goes "bankrupt" it goes into liquidation and if it is a limited company with directors, they are only liable to the value of their shares in the company. However in your case it is the individual who is bankrupt, so he would have lost everything he owned including a sole-trading business or his share in a non-limited partnership.

Hi Bob I see that on the Free BMD site the birth is listed of a Mary Ann Bewsey in June quarter 1847 at Wincanton, spans counties of Dorset and Somerset, the next one listed is Mary Ann at Islington in the September quarter 1853. You say that she was born about 1842 but the one you have quoted in 1861 census says Mary Bewsey age 9 so is this right? With regard to Thomas Hollis there are a lot of deats listed, would need to know where he was on the 1861 census Regards Liz at Lincoln ----- Original Message ----- From: <bob.newell@ntlworld.com> To: <ENG-HAMPSHIRE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, October 10, 2005 1:28 PM Subject: [ENG-HANTS] Missing Daughter > Hi all, looking for the missing daughter Mary BEWSEY b abt 1842 to Joseph > BEWSEY and Mercy Clayton.

Hi John -- Appreciate your response. But how does the discharge compute when it was posted in October of 1864 and the notice of bankruptcy showed up in January of 1865? (I might add that everything JJD Oland touched seemed to create more questions for every answer we've found.) Judy John Orchard <john.orchard4@btinternet.com> wrote: Sandra is right in her observations but you both seem to have missed an important point. Your notice tells of the discharge from bankruptcy which is when the administrator and the court agree that the bankrupt has met all of the court imposed obligations and is finally set free of the order. This notice is the final official notice giving 'creditors' a last chance to make any further claims before the court order comes into effect.

Hi Sandra -- Thank so much! Your explanation not only makes sense, it does tie in with what we understand about the family -- that they arrived in Nova Scotia, in essence, without money.

Hi Still looking for any information about Lucretia Jacobs. I am unable to find her on 1901census online or on Free BMD. All I know about her is that she married Private George Page of the Barracks Portsmouth in October 1911. (he was kia April 1918) On the marriage certificate she was 22 and a spinster living at 15 Nelson Avenue North End Portsmouth. Fathers name given as George Jacobs a market gardener. In 1912 they were at Lincoln and had Ronald and then Roy (my late father-in-law) in 1913. Lucretia died in 1955 at Lincoln. If anyone has come across her in their research or have any ideas I'd love to hear from them Thanks for reading Liz at Lincoln

Hi -- I'm new to the list and am hoping someone can help me out with this. My 2ggrandfather, John James Dunn Oland, after being married in Bristol, traveled around (presumably job related) and by at least 1856 wound up on a farm named Greyshott, in Headley parish. At one point he started a business in Haslemere called Oland & Bridge (auctioneers, appraisers, house and general estate agents) which was doing business in 1859. The wrinkle comes in 1865 in the months just prior to the family's immigration to Nova Scotia. Two bankruptcy notices were posted which read as follows: January 28, 1865 The Bankruptcy Act, 1861 In the county Court of Surrey, holden at Farnham, in the matter of John James Dunn Oland, of Grayshott, in the Parish of Headley, in the County of Southhampton, Auctioneer, adjudged Bankrupt on the 3rd day of October, 1864. An order of Discharge will be delivered to the Bankrupt after the expiration of thirty days from this date unless an appeal be duly entered against the Judgement of the Court, and notice thereof be given to the Court. James Harris, High Bailiff 2nd one: January 14, 1865 Bankrupts. John James Oland, of Headley, farmer, also passed, and recieved his order and discharge. So my questions are: 1. Do these mean that just the business was bankrupt or does it mean that the farm went under as well? (I don't know if he was leasing the farm or owned it.) 2. Is there any way of tracking down whether John owned the land? (The LDS Church doesn't appear to have anything on microfilm.) 3. Is there any way of finding out more about this Oland & Bridge? I'd be most grateful for any insight into this -- Judy Bingham Fullerton, California
