Tarrick (l/380-385). His will can be found in the L.C.C. wills for 1777. It is his eldest son Joseph who occurs the most frequently in this collection; he seems to have carried on his grandfather’s legal profession, and also became Clerk to the Alford Sewers. We first come across him in 1785 when he was a party to his sister Mary’s marriage settlement (z/3/1-2) on her marriage to Joshua Grigby of Drinkstone, Suffolk, and the following year he was fulfilling his capacity as one of the trustees of the Spilsby Charity School (1/461;2 Thimb. 3/ 1), which had been functioning since 1716. This particular deed is a lease of a parcel of land in the school yard for the erection of a new building. Among the clients he represented was John Astho e of Spilsby, who held property in Market Deeping, Halton Ho ‘pgate, Wisbech and Saltfleetby, as well as being an innholder in Spilsby (l/633)* Also prominent in this collection is the Wright family, also of Spilsby, the most famous of whom was Philip Wright a sheep farmer (see Young: Agriculture in Lincolnshire p.335-6); amongst the title deeds there are some farm accounts (1/438-g), including accounts for the sale of farm stock in 181 I : these give details of breeds, and names of purchasers. He probably had to sell these to pay off mortgage loans, as, like many other farmers of the time, he had financial difficulties. As well as mortgages of various land he owned (1 84, 222-5, 432, 470) we have a note of his loss at the time of the co1 iapse of the Spilsby Bank (6/11), which amounted to L670. The Bank owed just under E30,ooo to various creditors, and this was not paid off until 1814, a commission having been set u to investigate the collapse. Two of the bankers, John Steel and Jo1n Wray were declared bankrupt as a result. As for the early history of the firm, nothing much emerges from this collection, although we do have the firm’s cash ledger which starts at 1825 (2 Chat 11), and a few printed reference books of the early 19th century. There are a few indications as to the names of the partners, but we are sure that Thomas Walker, and his son William,were in the firm at the turn of the 18th century. By the time that the cash ledger starts, in 1825, Jackson Gunnis is the senior partner, and he seems to have continued in the firm until about 1845, when he died. Following him was Langley Langton Bankes of Tattershall whose name still appears in the ledger at the end, in 1858. It seems fairly certain that this firm was originally established in Spilsby and moved to Horncastle sometime during the middle of the 19th century, merging with the firm of Clitherow, who were already established at 7 Lindsey Court.
