Help required on some Macau information

Submitted by lizchater on Fri, 02/04/2011 - 21:51

Hi,

Need some assistance please.  I have a Carl Smith Card 114055 part of which has the following text: "Macau B-13 P.255 - 21 May 1887"

Another reference on the cards says: B-14 P.150 - 29 Dec 1887"

The subject matter is about a property being sold between two people in Macau.  My question is this:

What document/book/record is Carl Smith referring to with these references and are they accessible at the HK PRO.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Liz

Hi David,

I don't know if they do or not, maybe someone on the forum who goes there more frequently than me will be able to advise?  My query is because of my renewed interest in the Jordan's by Agnes Laing.

P. = Pataca, Macau currency?

Comminest currency in Macau was Pataca Mexicana (Mexican silver dollar, as also used in HK and elsewhere) until 1894, Macau Pataca thereafter.

 

Just a thought
