This is quite a useful site to work out comparative values. www.measuringworth.com/calculators/ppoweruk/ Kind regards Sheila -----Original Message----- From: David Sent: Wednesday, October 24, 2012 3:50 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [SFK-UK] Value of money Hi, I am currently looking at a number of documents relating to a branch of my family in the 18th century and these involve a lot of financial transactions. I am working on the assumption that £100 in the middle of the 18th century would be roughly equivalent to £6,000 now. Have I got this about right???

Thanks for the useful sites which I will keep on Favourites for future use. I see I was not far out in my calculations. (Oh dear he handed over £6000+ on a Bastardy Bond!! It makes fascinating study!)
