'Been following Steve Coker's great postings of SC Accounts. 'Saw where
one of my (probable) relatives ( Roberts who married Jaudon women)
submitted his bill for coroner inquest duties and was paid in English
pounds.
 It seemed as if his pay  was higher than that of the "town" butcher,
who was paid more than the carpenter. (So the moral of the story
is--stay in school, get an education, become a higher-paid
professional).

Or, is it that the two "cutters" got paid better than the hammerer 8) ?

Seriously, does anyone have a conversion table or site for English
pounds sterling to present day US dollars, i.e. adjusted for inflation ?

How much did these guys make, in present-day terms ?

I'd bet Mr. Coker knows.

Doesn't he do a great job !  Thanks, Steve. 

Thanks all-be blessed and good-night.
