Tontine Deed For Birmingham Public Library - 1798

hide
Hide

A Tontine Deed by definition is an annuity taken out by a group of individuals the survivors of which stand to benefit the most. In fact when only one subscriber is left alive, he/she takes the lot!!!

In this Tontine, some 180 worthy citizens of Birmingham Warwickshire subscribed an undisclosed sum and agreed to pay the rent on the land which the agreement set aside for the provision of a Public Library for Birmingham.

It is not clear from the legal clauses to the tontine, just what benefits were expected to accrue to the subscribers - but it is of note that the subscribers nominated very young members of their family presumably in the hope that these youngsters would out live all the others.

One benefit that the subscribers enjoyed was that if five or more of their number so desired they could call a General Meeting of the Proprietors, and at such a meeting they were empowered to direct and manage the affairs of the Library undertaking. They can also appoint the Secretary and Treasurer of the Library.

The Deed was signed on 25th March 1798.

In the Schedule to the Deed there are recorded the full details of the subscribers. In transcribing these entries we have had to abbreviate the information somewhat. The first entry in the Schedule reads (in full) as follows:- 1. William ANDERTON.
George ANDERTON aged five years and a half or thereabouts resident at Hake Green in the County of Worcester son of William ANDERTON of the same place Button Maker and Rebecca his wife.

This has been abbreviated in the enclosed listing and reads as follows:- ANDERTON William Geo. ANDERTON 5 yrs Hake Green,
s/o Wm. & Rebecca Button maker.

Quite a few of the subscribers lived remote from Birmingham in neighbouring Counties particularly Staffordshire & Worcestershire. and others are described as late of 'such and such' a place. John SEALE came from Westmorland, and Thomas COOPER's entry shows that Christopher MARSH was late of Bath in Somerset.
