Thanks for sharing this. Keep up the great work. I love yahoo.
These information are really valuable and thank you for taking time to find them and put them here.
Love your blog Vic! I look forward to seeing it in my e-mail and am always impressed by how much information you impart. Thank you. Keep up the good work. Linda
I am attempting my first novel in the style of Jane Austen and I have a question that perhaps you can answer. I should like to know how a rich widow with no family would obtain a piece of property. I suspect that she might hire someone to negotiate on her behalf. Is this a possibility? Would it be through a real estate broker or was there such a profession at that time? Any information you can give me would be appreciated.
You might find this sentence in Wikipedia fascinating:
“In contrast to wives, women who never married or who were widowed maintained control over their property and inheritance, owned land and controlled property disposal, since by law any unmarried adult female was considered to be a feme sole. Once married, the only way that women could reclaim property was through widowhood.”
The link will steer you to other resources. Thank you for your compliment! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Married_Women's_Property_Act_1882
This JStor article discusses property brokers in 18th Century Aleppo. You might have to purchase the article if you are not affiliated with a university.

Here’s the link to and 18th century British land agent named Nathaniel Kent. I hope you can access it.
