The oldest document I have uncovered is a £200 fire insurance policy for Isaac Dell of Birmingham, Plasterer dated 1785.
Isaac died 14 March 1810 aged 66. His place of birth is still awaiting discovery. His wife, a virtuous wife, a tender mother, a sincere Christian (according to St Philip's Church MI's) Mary (maiden name not yet known) died in November 1803 and 6 months later he married Ann Smith (a truly good woman (according to her obituary)).
