Up for auction is one of the more incredible items I have had the pleasure of offering, this being a 12.5 FOOT long scroll containing the marriage documents of Anne and Edmond Stafford, married in the 28th year of the reign of King Henry the Eighth. "Kynge henry ye eight" is referred to several times in the document as the monarch. That would date this to 1537. Much of this amazing document is in ENGLISH and forms a record of the marriage including articles of agreement, indentures, a final agreement, and other documents. All penned in a single hand with a registrars notation at the very end. The document is described in a docket as an "inquisition" taken on the death of Robert Bathwell. The parties aside from the bride and groom are Robert Bathewell of Bathewell (?) in the County of Lincoln, a Gentleman, who gives the marriage Dower, and William Stafford referred to both as a Gentleman and an (E)squire. It should be noted that there was a very prominent family in Tudor England, the Staffords, and this may relate. Obviously the parties were significant due to the massive amount of legal documents here. The scroll which is 12 inches wide is made up of paper sheets and nicely stitched. The first three feet with some foxing and loss at margin but after that improves significantly. Towards the last few feet of the scroll it is folded every 1/2 an inch or so. Nice watermark of a hand and a crown on many of the sheets.

RARE VELLUM DEED OF SEPARATION BETWEEN HUSBAND & WIFE 1878 These unusual four vellum documents are a Deed of Separation and Indenture dated 1878. Legal separation between a husband and wife in the 19th Century was unusual, but not unheard of. However, such things tend to get quietly buried in family histories, and later generations are often unaware of their existence. Consequently it is rare for an actual document of legal separation to be offered for sale. Front of the Deed reads:

DEED of SEPARATION

between

Mr William Pearson and Betsey his wife

Dated 30th March 1878

Mr William Pearson }

to } Deed of Covenant

Mr Charles Harvey & anor }

There is a later addition underneath for the appointment of a new Trustee, dated 25th February 1899

Extract from the deed:

"....said Mr William Pearson will not at any time hereafter require or by any means whatsoever compel to cohabit or live with him, or institute any legal proceedings or take any other steps whatsoever for that purpose, and will not in anywise molest or interfere with the said Betsey Pearson in her manner of living or otherwise...."

The deed seems to separate their finances, and appoints Charles Harvey and one other Trustee to oversee this.

William Pearson seems to be liable for all of the legal costs of the separation .... one of the conditions of which seems to be that she does not reside within 100 miles of Newcastle Upon Tyne.

The document speaks of "....unhappy differences, and they have consequently agreed to live separate from each other..."

There seems to be property involved, and as far as I can make out, in amongst the 'herewiths' and 'aforesaids' Betsey was to "....receive and take an annuity or clear yearly rent charge of £50...."

The document details the property concerned, which was in Newcastle Upon Tyne. The document is signed and sealed at the bottom by William Pearson, Betsey Pearson, Charles Harvey and John Pearson In 1899 with the appointment of a new trustee, it was signed and sealed by Richard Harvey and Charles Harvey and witnessed by a Boston, Lincolnshire solicitor. The deed has a ten shilling embossed stamp and a crown rubber stamp for Newcastle Upon Tyne 22.2.78 On the back of the deed there is some quite indistinct writing in ink, dated 1880. William Pearson is by then deceased, and his affairs have passed through the Chancery Division of the High Court of Justice

This is a legal document handwritten in sepia ink with quill pen. It is written on Vellum (calf skin). I have not had the time to translate very much of this document due to its size, but the writing is exceptionally clear and can be completely translated with a little time and effort. It is written in Old English in a clear hand and the old spellings are fascinating. The document is in good condition, a bit grubby with age but totally legible. There are no tears or holes in the folds which is surprising considering its age. There is additional writing and signatures on the back. This document still has its seal tags, here the witnesses have signed. There are still remains of the original wax seals too. THIS IS A LARGE MANUSCRIPT MEASURING 25 INCHES BY 16 INCHES
