[Carter
Family of Buckingham] Large Collection
of Miscellaneous Minor Papers Ranging in dates from 1852 to 1902, much of the
paperwork concerns Richard Carter, died 1884.
The collection appears to have been rummaged through several times and
this is all that remains - a few hundred minor papers, predominantly from the
1880s and 1890s, including such things as local traders bills, dividend
statements, a few small account books and much routine day-to-day correspondence
etc. Latter papers concern Richard W
Carter, presumably a son. The

[King/Bradbury/Moorcraft/Lines
family] Documents relating to Cottages
in Preston Bissett A collection of 15 documents - including a 40pp abstract
of title - chroncling 70 years [1782-1852] of the history of these cottages. Their location isn't described in
geographical terms but by a succession of occupiers - including some members
of the family. The family's
involvement began in 1792 when the cottages were bought by Edward Lines. When he died [1828] they went to his
daughter Elizabeth Ann King. As well
as original and copy property deeds, there are some more personal items such
as probated wills, an admon and copies of entries in baptism, marriage and
burial registers [1 of each]. Some of
the documents are very grubby. The

[Buckingham]
Group of 10 Manorial Documents Ranging
in dates from 1798 to 1851, the documents relate to a copyhold cottage &
land. In 1798 the cottage, newly built by James Tunks "on waste
ground...situate within the Prebend of Buckingham near unto Dancer's Brick
Kiln there, the Public Highway leading from Buckingham to Bourton lying on
the South West and Great Port Field lying on the North East side
thereof...". In 1816 James Tunks surrendered his copyhold in favour of
Michael & Mary Westley. The Westley family retained the copyhold until
February 1851 when it was surrendered to Rev Eusebius Andrewes Uthwatt. As
the 1851 census was taken shortly afterwards it may be possible to identify
where the cottage was situated. (ref 6870) |

to have lived in the cottage from then until 1829 when he sold it to Edward

3 concerning local brewer William Blencowe.
Though these 3 adjoining properties can't be identified just from
their location 'near the Castle Hill', it should be possible to identify them
from the succession of occupiers 'for many years in the tenure or occupation
of...Job Wilson...and late of Abraham Wheeler, a messuage or tenement some
time since in the occupation of John Jones, late of Geo Elborough and now of
Robt Holt...'. A large chunk has been

Deeds relating to 6 Cottages at Nast End or North East End 8
parchment deeds, including the probated copy of the will of local innkeeper
John Watts who died in 1827. The documents chronicle events from 1772 to

died in 1827, they remained with his widow & daughters until 1834. As
with many property deeds of this period the exact location of the cottages
isn't specified but all clearly relate to the same properties. Occupiers
mentioned include Harley/

[Charndon]
Document Concerning Smarts Farm This is
actually a detailed legal query sent to Lincolns Inn for expert opinion.
Smarts Farm was evidently part of the Manor of Charndon which was settled in
1746 on the marriage of Philip Lord Wenman and Sophia Herbert. Extracts from
various documents show the descent of the manor and its subsequent break-up.
This document shows the situation as at 1809, when there was some uncertainty
about exactly how much land belonged to Smarts Farm. What was merely a
request for legal clarification has left us this interesting piece of local
history. 7 large paper sheets protected by a now very dilapidated covering
sheet. (ref 44/181) |
