Thank you so much Constanius this is very helpful. I will now go off to try and find out more about the Liverpool Royal Institution.

Hi

I am researching my families history and wondered if anyone here could throw any light on why a family member would have received this medal. It is dated 1814 and awarded to a 'Miss J Slater'. I understand looking through the records here it was a 'peace' medal. Would this have been given to her to recognise someone who fought in the Nepolonic wars?

And help would be lovely!

The head side has a helmeted lady facing right with a liver bird on the helmet. On the reverse is just oak and olive leaves around the edge. There is also the number 169 and Miss J Slater in the centre.

Many thanks in advance

Lisa
