Two page parchment document dated 1871: Caroline Harris, wife of William Harris sworn at Bedford Row, Middlesex regarding property in Great Marlow Includes a 'Common Law Courts' Five Shillings blue embossed paper seal with metallic centre. Other names mentioned in this document are Henry Plumridge, William Plumridge, William Johnson, Henry Judge, Amelia Judge, Edward James Flint, Ellen Flint, James Plumridge, William Lakin Ward, Charlotte Way, John McMillin, George Becke & James Batting. Certificate of acknowledgement of a deed by a married woman This is a guaranteed genuine Victorian parchment document consisting of at least two pages.

These certificates were introduced as part of the Fines and Recoveries Act of 1833. Their purpose was to ensure that, where a married woman was selling or mortgaging property jointly with her husband, she was of full age and completely understood what was taking place. Given that any property belonging to a woman automatically passed to her husband upon marriage, I am not convinced that this would have made any difference but, apparently, common law required her to be a party to any deed and these acknowledgements were intended to prevent the husband from abusing his position in those cases where he inherited property through his marriage. Although votes for women were still some way off, the Married Women’s Property Act of 1882 gave them the same rights over their own property as if they had been single or widowed.

ebay

Vintage document. This relates to Market Place in Olney and is dated 1831. This is an extract from the will of William Wilson late of Olney in the County of Buckingham Lace dealer deceased. Dated 1st day of June 1831. This is a genuine document written on light blue watermarked paper. It continues

"And whereas I am seized or possessed in fee simple of freehold of two cottages or dwelling houses situated in Olney aforesaid and adjoining my dwelling house on the north side thereof one of which said cottages is in the occupation of Thomas Kitchiner and the other of James Hollingshead as the respective yearly tenants thereof Now I do hereby give and devise the said two cottages or dwelling houses with their respective appurtenances unto my sister Elizabeth" etc

I assume William Wilson was ill as there is a note at the bottom of the extract to say Testator died 3 September 1831. William was originally a Hair dresser but must have changed professions. This is one of two extracts of wills for William the second one is being auctioned separately, this leaves his home to his wife Sarah which would have been number 10 Market Place.

THE EARL OF WIGTOUN PAPERS, FLEMYNG & GYLL ( GILL ) FAMILY ARCHIVES. A remarkable recently discovered collection of original documents, autograph letters, pedigrees, etc. gathered together and arranged by Gordon Willoughby Gyll (born 1802). He was the son of William Gyll (1774-1807) equerry to H.R.H. the Duke of Sussex, and his wife Harriet Jane Gyll (1776-1813). Harriet was the daughter of Hamilton Flemyng 9th (& last) Earl of Wigtoun who died in 1809; Harriet was his only child. These ancient family’s pedigrees show descent from King Egbert A.D. 800 and Rollo, Duke of Normandy in A.D. 920.

Gordon Willoughby Gyll’s seat was Remenham House, Wyrardisbury, Bucks; another family house was Yeoveney Hall, Staines, Middlesex. The collection is bound into ten volumes, and also a bundle of loose papers, and includes documents signed by King George III & Queen Victoria. Whilst the bindings of some of the volumes are now either broken, or lacking entirely, the collection remains in generally good order with some dust marking. Some of the volumes are beautifully illustrated with coats of arms painted in colours and other illustrations. Gordon Willoughby Gyll must have spent many years gathering together these family papers and letters, arranging them, and writing up accounts and pedigrees. As and indication of the size of the collection the papers weigh over 50 lbs.

Note: Wigtoun is sometimes spelt Wigton or Wigtown, Gyll is occasionally spelt Gill.

For a brief description of each volume please see below.

Neville (George, administrator and archbishop of York, chancellor of England, youngest son of Richard Neville, fifth earl of Salisbury 1400-60, younger brother of Richard Neville, earl of Warwick and Salisbury (the Kingmaker), 1432-76) Indenture tripartite between George, Archbishop of York, Henry Belknapp & John Godstone, greetings, whereas John Brecknok by his charter of 1 April 1465 granted and confirmed the manor called Remenham in Wirandesbery [Wraysbury], and Langley Marsh, and Horton (Bucks), the towns (and fields) of Datchet and Stoke which were once the property Robert Remenham to have and to hold the appurtenances to Thomas Hampden of Hampden, Thomas Roker of Ascot, Nicholas Statham, William Staveley, William Palmer of Tarleton & Thomas Hampden of Kynbell, all the aforesaid lands and tenements [formerly in Bucks, now Berks], manuscript in Latin, on vellum, 33 lines, lacks seals, folds, creased, browned, 4 wormholes, 260 x 480mm., 27th March 1471.

The Neville family had been instrumental in helping Edward IV seize the thrown from Henry VI and had in consequence become one of the most influential families in the land. However, after Edward IVs marriage to Elizabeth Woodville in the 1460's he began to favour her family and tensions began to rise between the king and the Neville's. By 1469, relations between the Neville family under the leadership of Richard earl of Warwick, "the Kingmaker" and Edward IV had broken down and developed into armed conflict. Edward IV was defeated at the battle of Edgcote and the king himself was arrested by Archbishop Neville. By 1471 Edward IV had recovered his throne and now Archbishop Neville, although formally pardoned was in disgrace but could not be removed from his archiepiscopacy. Thus George Neville was for a time at the heart of Yorkist government and was probably saved from execution by his clerical office.
