We are still trying to trace
sufficient detail for Griffin Assurance Company Limited, and Union
Registrar Services Limited, to enable individual pages for these companies
to be added to this section of the Online Archive. In the meantime there is this short piece
from the Newcastle Journal, 18 March 1968 which covers the purchase by
Martins Bank of the Griffin Assurance Company:

{MARTINS Bank Trust Company have taken over the Griffin
Assurance Company, a subsidiary of London and Edinburgh Life Insurance
Company. Griffin issue life assurance contracts in the group now managed by
MartinsUnicorn. The Purchase price
has not been revealed.}

Still just ahead of the merger with
Barclays, this is a shrewd move for Martins, whose acquisition in 1967 of
the Unicorn Unit Trust business, would prove to be a golden egg for
Barclays.
