The Common Room / Re: Annuitant

I have just joined rootschat and have read Posts on Annuitant. Wish I could answer your questions. My question is: Are there RECORDS that hold the answers?
Somehow I don't think Wills are the answer or the Annuitant would have to wait until their GIVER died.
One person in my Genealogy group told me.
Firstly. A system was set up where if a husband was maimed or killed in a war then he if he was maimed or she if he was killed would receive help in the way of money and therefore one of them became an annuitant.
Secondly: People who could afford to, donated money somewhere for this purpose.
There were certainly a lot of wars going on in 1800s and huge numbers of casualties.
In my case. My Annuitant was an unmarried mother of one child and the fathers name was not put on her child,s birth certificate. He was born 1879. A big brick wall I think but I will plug away and I hope you others do too. Let us know how you get on.
