Did I mishear, or did Kevin Whateley on last night’s WDYTYA say he used a facility at the National Archive to work out how much a sum of money many years ago was worth now? Is this facility available on line? I’ve tried searching TNA’s website and keep getting pages on tax and such like when all I need is a simple calculator. Any ideas? |

Hi everyone, and many thanks for all your very prompt help. The 'measuring worth' site is particularly good. The one at ww.nationalarchives.gov.uk/currency/default.asp#mid also does the trick. Next question is where did my ancestors bury that money...? |

Just to say many thanks Betty - I have just downloaded the toolbar and it is fantastic - I hadn't heard of it before. |
