Blunderbus?[edit]

The article says "there was always a blunderbuss at the ready". Can this be so in a bank run by a Quaker family? --Vernon White ^{. . . Talk} 18:29, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any relationship between this article and Overend, Gurney & Co‎? -- Ssilvers (talk) 17:04, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

An anonymous editor added a section in "See also" in 2014:

For much of the 19th Century Henry Gurney was in partnership with Sam Baker and Walter Curtis. Samuel Baker having set up West India Merchants and subsequently Samuel Baker and Co. of 147 Leadenhall Street.^[1] The three men established of H. Gurney, Baker and Co. of 69 Lombard Street. They were Bill Brokers and Money Dealers. After many years of successful business the firm was liquidated in May 1883.^[2]

I'm not clear about the status of this contribution:

• where should this text be placed?
• who was Henry Gurney? (I can't find him in the Gurney family (Norwich) page)
• what are sources for the statements given? The references mentioned do not help me.

So for now I moved this contribution to this talk page.
