If you have a name and type of occupation and which town I can look in The Times newspaper..... They printed lists weekly. If I find anything it will only give you a date, but this might help for future research? MMM

Not totally sure on this, but think the London Gazette, some of which is online, might have published details of bankruptcies. Just Google London Gazette.

Sheila, I seem to remember this story from before??? (maybe you asked on my old The Times thread on the Records Office board?? Anyway - There is only one William Crowther declared bankrupt in the Times within 20 years of 1880. This one is in the wrong trade (woolen manufacturer) and the wrong place (London). The problem seems to be the paper mainly sent it's junior hacks to the courts in London to hear the cases - there is definitely a bias towards the capital and its surrounds!! MMM
