As well as names, dates and places, I have always wanted to know more about the actual people that I research - what they did, what their beliefs were, what their interests were, what life altering events they experienced and so on.
Increasing debt and the possibility of bankruptcy are problems affecting many people today as a result of the current economic slowdown. However, they are not new problems. Our ancestors faced them too, and for them, debt and bankruptcy could lead to imprisonment.
In this post, you will find the names, addresses and occupations of some Saddingtons who found themselves experiencing bankruptcy over the past two centuries. The information is taken from the London Gazette, the archives of which are now online. The dates are those of the issue of the Gazette in which the information was found. Please note that the names of anyone who goes bankrupt today or went bankrupt in the past will be or has been published in the London Gazette, and in either a local or national newspaper, or in both.
