Unclaimed Bank Dividends for Brentford People, 1752-1820

Sally Douglas provided the basis for this page, having found lists of unclaimed bank dividends online in 19th century books. The following list includes all the references found to Brentford people from two such volumes, published in 1800 and 1823. In some cases the same individual appears in both volumes.

The volume from 1823 has the following details on its title page:
The Names and Descriptions of the Proprietors of Unclaimed Dividends on Bank Stock, and on all Government Funds and Securities Transferable at the Bank of England
Which became due on and before the 5th January, 1820, and remained unpaid the 31st December 1822: including all Stock upon which Dividends have been unclaimed for ten years, together with the Dividends thereon, which have been transferred and paid to the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt, in pursuance of the Act of 56th Geo, III. Cap. 60.
with the dates when the first dividends respectively became payable, and the number of dividends due thereon.

The table below lists people in surname order. The columns include the following information:

• Published: the date of publication of the books researched, 1800 or 1823; other years are available online
• Group: there are three instances where people shared bonds, these are numbered 1, 2 and 3
• Month and Year: when dividend first became due
• Other Details: sometimes occupation, marital status, residence is given; OB/NB = Old/New Brentford; (1800) - same details appeared in the 1800 volume as in 1823

The original volumes include information which has not been transcribed:

• the type of bond purchased (for example £3 Per Cent Annuities 1759; £4 Per Cent Navy 1763)
• the number of dividends due - a number from 1 upwards, sometimes not visible due to a combination of tight binding and scanning.
