PREFACE.
Since the last Edition of this work was published, the Advertisements
and Information to which the names relate have been nearly doubled,
and a new Edition being called for, the Compiler has endeavoured, at
great expense, to make it the most perfect Index of its kind. It
contains upwards of 50,000 names of persons advertised for during the
last 150 years in the London Gazette, Times, and numerous other
London and Country newspapers, inquiring for Heirs at Law, Next
ofKin, Legatees, and others to come forward and prove their claims to
property ofthe aggregate value ofmany millions steeling.
It is only necessary to mention one or two facts to shew the
usefulness ofan Index such as this. Ey a return recently presented to
the House of Commons, the amount of the Suitors' Stock and Cash
standing in the Court of Chancery is £60,425,400 5s. 6d. Of this
sum a large portion awaits claimants. There is also an enormous
sum standing unclaimed at the Bank of England in the shape of
Unclaimed Dividends. On the I^ational Debt alone the amount
was, at the commencement of 1872, nearly £1,000,000. Very
large sums are also due to the representatives of persons who
have died abroad intestate, and the amount of Army and Navy
Prize Money due to the lleprescntatives of deceased Soldiers and
Sailors is in round numbers £1,500,000. A very large proportion of
these vast sums can readily be recovered on properly authenticated
proofs of relationship being produced. A copy of a Next of Kin
advertisement is often sufficient to put inquirers in possession of a
direct clue to vciy large sums ofmoney.
An endeavour has been made in this Edition to avoid repetitions,
the same person often being advertised for many times in different
newspapers. "Wherever two entries of the same name occur, a short
description has been inserted for easier identification. When several
members of a family are Avantcd, one entry only has been made;
thus, Ahholt Family, 71,070, although Ann, George, Mary, Philip,
Thomas, and William Abbott may be wanted. This course has con-
siderably condensed the Index.
The compiler believes that this Index will be found of the greatest
assistance by Solicitors and others in prosecuting inquiries respecting
unclaimed money. Even in cases where, after a copy of an Advertise-
ment is obtained, it is found that tlie property refeiTed to has been
already recovered, the information is still valuable, as anxiety is set at
rest, and a grciitdeal oftime and money saved thatwould otherwise be
spent in useless searches.
