[Alex De Gier]

Can anyone help.with regards to the Register column titles. They refer to "Date of receipt of K.K. in this office" and "Particulars of K.K." and "Date when K.K . was sent to Bpard of Trade"

In particular I would like to know what "K.K." stands for/means.

Many thanks

Alex

As it refers to looks like someone, is that a Single Persons Record? I only ask as the obvious may be his name ?? Silly i guess but??

Hopefully someone may come up with the answer!

Dear Mr Vernon MacDonald


Thank you for contacting The National Archives of the United Kingdom.

The initials K.K. used in some of the headings in BT 153/10 just stand for account. I attach an image from BT 153/7 where the same columns are used as BT 153/10 but the word 'account'; is used in the place of 'K.K.' I can find no other explanation elsewhere
