![]() ![]() ![]() This led me to try to find out more about this seemingly mysterious woman, as I had no idea who she was, especially given that her name appeared in the National Archives numerous times, all pertaining to the buying and selling of property and land. Mary B Mostyn seems to have been involved in several property deals during her life as it was a great way to invest money. ![]() This payment appears to be in connection with the purchase of property. On 16 December 1785, the day after his marriage, George Finch-Hatton, the husband of Lady Elizabeth née Murray ( Dido Elizabeth Belle’s cousin) received £15,859 into his bank and that very same day he paid the whole amount out to two beneficiaries, the £14,659 being paid to Mary. I came across a mysterious payment into the bank account of a Mary B Mostyn in 1785, for a substantial amount of money – £14,659, which today would be worth a little under £2 million. ![]()
