The function of a money scrivener was to arrange loans for people. That may also include bail I would thought but not exclusive.

Thank you all.

Mick, I'm sure I can see a family resemblance :lol: :lol: :lol:

I confess I don't know a great deal about the Loney side of this branch. They seem an 'interesting' lot so perhaps it's time to give them some of my attention. To have a money scrivener in the family makes a change from so many labourers. It also makes a change to have family members who leave wills - they are as rare as hens teeth in my tree. I've also discovered several side-shoot individuals who were granted Freedom of the City of London in relation to occupations which is great! More colour and context for my family story.

Thanks again for all the help - I'm very grateful.
