Names from the Account Books of Thomas Smith, Ireley Farm,
Hailes, Gloucestershire; 1865 - 1871

Glos. R.O. D2163/2

This information has been compiled exclusively by John Fox from the above source

APPENDIX A

Supply and Demand

Many individuals are mentioned by name in the Ireley Farm Account Book (Glos. R.O. D2163/2) but the names mean little without some indication of the trade, profession or occupation of these people. For this reason, I have attempted to identify them. The attempt was not completely successful, not least because there were several people with the same surname following different trades or professions at the same point in time, and it was impossible to be certain which one of them was trading with Thomas Smith. Where this has happened, I have listed all the individuals concerned. I have been unable to trace a few of the people named, but the bulk of Smith's business and other associates are recorded here. The result is a fairly comprehensive record of the pattern of buying and selling in a rural community during the eighteen-sixties.
