druxey Posted March 21, 2017 #1 Posted March 21, 2017 New from The National Archives, U.K.: British Royal Navy Allotment Declarations 1795-1852 (ADM 27) A naval act of 1795 allowed petty officers, seamen, non-commissioned officers, and marines to remit part of their wages for the maintenance of their mothers, wives, or families. In order to achieve an allotment, the individual needed to complete an allotment declaration, and then their payments were entered into a register of allotments. These records from our collection are now available to search and download through our partners at Findmypast.co.uk. thibaultron, Matrim, trippwj and 3 others 6 Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv
TomShipModel Posted March 21, 2017 #2 Posted March 21, 2017 Druxey, Thank you for that information. Very interesting that there was the forerunner of I guess a dependent care account back then.
