Hi all Many thanks to all of you who shed light on my questions. I must admit that given that Ann Dalton had left a will and the estate was valued "at under 300 pounds" I was a bit confused as to how things were. But then, what is "under 300 pounds" and what would that have been worth in current pounds? So, I got my answer. Bill in really sunny Gig Harbor

Ann would have had to convince the committee that she met the patron's criteria to be given one of the almshouses. It may be that she acquired this money after she moved in, maybe by inheriting it herself. Even in this high tech age with so much information held on computer, unless I have my money in a bank under my name, government or other agencies are unlikely to know how much I am worth.
