The amount that Julius left in 1906 would be worth £5,445,212.50 So his father-in-law's £70,000 in 1864 would make him extremely wealthy!!

Very interesting Rootgatherer ! I was trying to do the same calculation! :-D

Thought you might want to know the worth of the father-in-law's estate.

Current data is only available till 2010.
In 2010, £70000 0s 0d from 1864 is worth



£5,370,000.00 using the retail price index

£41,600,000.00 using average earnings


And using the same calculator for Julius's estate.

In 2010, £56875 6s 5d from 1906 is worth:



£4,770,000.00 using the retail price index

£19,200,000.00 using average earnings
