Yes Keith that will do. Thank you. Seems a lot of money to give to the poor wonder if it was compulsory before they got married

In 2006, £0 1s 0d from 1758 is worth
£6.12 using the retail price index.

Not sure if this is what you are actually after.

Does anyone know how much (1/-) one shilling would be worth in 1758 as this was what some of my ancestors paid to the poor when they got married and am pretty sure they were poor themselves. Thanks
