Recommended Posts

A long time ago my grandad told me that his grandad was a wealthy man ,but he lost all his wealth by standing bail ?for a friend of his , when the time came for his friend to go to court he absconded so this is how he lost all of his wealth is there anyway I could find out if this is right ,or was it just a white lie ? My Grandad was Wm Harrison b1904 at May Cottage Fulwood Sheffield his grandad was Henry Harrison d 1899

Many thanks

Chris

Was this the man?

HARRISON Henry, of Rivelin-Lodge Sheffield, yeoman, died 9 January 1899  Probate WAKEFIELD 29 June to Matilda Harrison widow Effects £2768 17s 10d. (The full will is available at a cost of £10)

If it was the correct HH, then he obviously didn't lose all his wealth, just a few bob.
