Genealogical Notes of the Descent of the Family of James of Austin Friars
E Renouard James, 1898. 100pp, (5 folding pedigrees [James, Renouard [2], Ott, Gardner). Mainly London, but the family also has strong links with Essex and Kent. A rather tender copy, the outer hinge of the front board broken & the board is loose, both boards and spine are very worn & grubby. A decent copy fetches around £50, this copy (ref 8113) priced for condition at  £20.00

[Morris]  School Prize
A Child's History of England presented to Gladys Morris May 1911 by the Barking Education Committee.  (ref 0000)  £6.00

[Shaw of Colchester]  17th Century Document
This document, signed by John Shaw in the year 1690-1, releases his brother Thomas Shaw [also of Colchester] from all claims '.....from the beginning of the world unto the day of the date of these presents....'.  It could be the settling of some quite serious dispute or merely a legal 'full-stop' on a simple property agreement - in isolation we can only speculate what brought about this document.  Manuscript on paper, approx 8"x11".  Nice condition, signed by John Shaw and two witnesses, nice clear wax seal.  (ref 197/3)  £24.00 post-free  Not for export

[Althorne documents]  Deeds to The Foundry
A pair of parchment deeds (1893, 1905) showing the Pollard family's involvement with cottages, land and premises.  Both deeds have been used as drafts for later property deeds (not here present) and as such are much pencilled over.  The pair (ref 658/45)  £15.00 post-free  Not for export

[Ashdon property deeds]  Early Deeds for Sandons
'All those messuages or tenements called or known by the severall names of Sandons and Lebands or otherwise situate and being in the parishes precincts and hamletts of Ashdon and Bartlow in the County of Essex with the lands meadow pasture feeding and wood grounds.....now or late in the tenure of John Schooling....' was the subject of a 1723 settlement made on the marriage of James Robinett of [Saffron] Walden and Susan Turner, daughter of Richard Turner, also of [Saffron] Walden.  On offer here is an early copy [probably contemporary] of the settlement, together with 3 parchment deeds [1704, 1728 & another 1728] to do with the same property.  The copy settlement is contained on 14 large paper sheets.  The 4 items (ref 236/11)  £50.00 post-free   Not for export

[Ashdon property deed]  Lease of Goldstones
This is a 1750 lease of 'all that capital messuage or tenement.....known by the name of Goldstones otherwise Golderstones and all that toft or piece of ground whereon formerly stood a messuage or farm house.....commonly called or known by the name of Kings, both of them situate lying and being in Ashdon in the County of Essex in a hamlet there called Wyndworth.....'.  Manuscript on parchment, approx 20"x28", one small hole with the loss of some lettering.  (ref 236/12)  £15.00 post-free  Not for export

[Ashdon property deed]  Mortgage of Cottage at Steventon End
This 1728 mortgage was taken out by Ashdon labourer John Chapman on 'all that his messuage or tenement with the outhouses yards gardens...scitutate [sic] lying and being in the Hamlet called Steventon End in the parish of Ashdon....'.  It appears that when the money was repaid (1738) John Chapman's 1728 mark and seal were cut away to void the document.  Parchment, single sheet.  (ref 236/14)  £15.00 post-free   Not for export

[Aveley document]  Abstract of Title to House in Lowlands Road
This multi-page document sheds much light on the development of the general area bounded by Lowlands Road, Toplands Avenue, Blenheim Gardens and Purfleet Road.  The area now covered in houses was in Victorian times Parsonage Farm, and before that a park.  The only road was Water Lane, now called Purfleet Road.  Although specifically drawn up to prove ownership of 2 Lowlands Road, this 1953 document will be of interest to anyone studying the history and development of Aveley.  Typescript on 18 large paper sheets (there is inevitably much repetition in the wording when referring back to previous documents) accompanied by 2 extremely useful sketch maps.  Covers the period 1886 to 1953.  (ref 658/65)  £18.00 post-free  Not for export

[Barking document]  Conveyance of Land at Creekmouth
This 1920 document concerns 9 acres of land at Barking or False Point.  The land was bought (and the documents signed) by Hyla Edward Elkins of Finchley for £8000.  The documents  includes a hand-coloured plan which shows the site in question to be on the North Bank of the Thames.  Manuscript on parchment.  (ref 475/38)  £10.00 post-free  Not for export

[Barking document]  Diversion of a Length of River Wall at Creeks Mouth
This 1908 document concerns a proposed alteration of the river wall.  It includes a hand-coloured plan which shows the site in question to be between a bend in Barking Creek and Creeksmouth Road (this would appear to be today's River Road).  Manuscript on parchment.  (ref 475/37)  £10.00 post-free  Not for export

In 1741 the inn was sold [for £240] to John Paine, and in 1753 it passed to Henry Smith. When he died the inn passed to the Bush family. 2 or 3 deeds have recent tears through careless handling, nevertheless a nice little collection, each item being well over 200 years old.

These associated abstracts were drawn up in 1927 and 193x.  The near-40 acre Lampits Hill Farm was created on the breaking up of the much larger Herd Farm 30 years previous.  Although specifically drawn up for an intended sale of 11 Carisbrooke Drive, the abstract provides detail on the gradual break-up of Herd Farm so is a useful document for anyone studying the general area to the North of Corringham.  (ref 658/67)  £18.00 post-free  Not for export

[Great Coggeshall documents]  Deeds to Cottages in Back Lane
A useful collection of deeds spanning the years 1815 to 1911 concerning a plot of land on the North side of Back Lane which by 1824 had had 4 cottages built on it by local builder Matthias Gardner.  An 1894 deed concerns 'two other more recently erected cottages or tenements adjoining the last described cottages'.  Throughout much of the 95 years covered by these deeds the properties were in mortgage.  Several deeds identify the cottages by naming former tenants/occupiers, so in conjunction with the various censuses it should be possible to pinpoint their exact location.  A total of 10 parchment deeds.  (ref 658/46)  £65.00 post-free  Not for export

[Harlow]  Chaplin & Co - The Harlow Brewery - Articles of Partnership
2 sets of Articles dated 1890 and 1899.  It would appear the Harlow Brewery was formerly run by Thomas Chaplin, and his death in 1890 prompted the Articles in which Frederic Edwards and Frederick Chaplin Edwards became partners.  Fresh Articles were drawn up in 1899 to admit Frederick Edwards (who was by then deceased)'s son Arthur B Edwards as a new partner.  The earlier of the documents contains a 2pp schedule of Essex and Hertfordshire public houses leased by the company and a 2pp list of fixtures, fittings and equipment at the brewery.  Manuscript on paper.  (ref 21/46)   £18.00 post-free   Not for export

[Hornchurch]  Deeds to the Elm Park Estate
These 3 1904 parchment deeds record the purchase of plots on the developing Elm Park Estate by commercial traveller William Allsop Clowes.  Specifically the plots were in Prospect Road and Grasmere Road.  The three items (ref 55/27)  £12.50 post-free    Not for export

[Hornchuch document]  Release of Wyatt Farm

[Horndon-on-0the-Hill document]  Gift of Land
This deed concerns a small plot of land on the outside of the bend where Hillcrest Road becomes Oxford Road.  Then just a field, it was given to the Roman Catholic Church, presumably due to its proximity to the adjacent RC Church of the Sacred Heart.  The donor, Alice Green of Horndon Priory, would no doubt be shocked to discover so many changes have happened since her 1949 gift - the church demolished and the site now occupied by a house; the field she donated also built-on; that part of Hillcrest Road reduced to a grass track.  Typescript on paper.  (ref 658/66)  £18.00 post-free  Not for export

[Ilford/Seven Kings] Group of Property Deeds - Stainforth Road
A group of 6 deeds dated from 1910 to 1931. Concerns no's 152-166 (even numbers), though not every house is mentioned on every deed. Very much to do with the Griffiths family. The 6 (ref W4/159)  £12.50 post-free  Not for export

Flinten History, Being The Story of Pakefield and Its Church
B P W Stather Hunt, 1953 7th ed.  202pp inc index, 41 mostly full-page photo-ills, other ills in text.  'The writer's only qualifications are a love of his subject and twenty-five years spent in investigation and in watching the Church grow gradually into its present beauty'.  The 20pp appendix has much for the family historian.  Nice bright condition - perhaps the best copy we've seen - F.  (ref 3667)  £12.50

[Rayleigh documents]  Deeds to Building Plots in Helena Road
2 early (1899 and 1905) conveyances concerning 8 of well over 700 building plots comprising the Parkland Estate.  The block of 8 plots was on the SE side of Helena Street, identified on a plan as plots 356 to 363.  The pair (ref 658/61)  £15.00 post-free   Not for export

This 1772 deed records the leasing of 3 fields (one of them known as Three Acre Field) by locals William Collis (gentleman) and Joseph Wyatt (victualler) for an intended 22 years.  The lease was from Rebecca Buckle of Stepney, Middlesex, though we have a feeling she must have moved there from Rochford.  Single large parchment sheet, bears the signature Rebeca [sic] Buckle but the seal has been callously cut away.   In view of the damage (ref 0000)  £12.50 post-free  Not for export

[Shoeburyness documents]  Deeds to 15 St Andrews Road
A sequence of 4 deeds and a copy deed covering the period 1912 to 1964 chronicling successive changes of ownership from Banyard to Simpson (who appears to have been the builder) to Mann to Living to Beardwell.  It would seem that not one of these owners actually lived there.  (ref 658/55)  £20.00 post-free  Not for export

[Shopland, Southchurch, Gt & Little Wakering] Report on Fox Hall & Revells
This 1857 report values the 167 acre site at £7740. It is a brief report on area, type of soil, usage, and a short list of the farm buildings.

[Stanford-le-Hope document]  Abstract of Title
This 1899 abstract provides us with property transactions going back to 1889 when local barge owner Ambrose Ellis acquired a plot of land on Salisbury Avenue near its junction with the High Road (today's Wharf Road).  A small hand-drawn location plan shows the specific plot.  Manuscript on 4 large paper sheets with a 5th as the covering sheet, the plan is on waxed linen.  (ref 658/68)  £15.00 post-free  Not for export

[Stow Maries] Important Group of Deeds relating to Fambridge
1766 copy of 1680 demise & assignment Hewitson & Peck to Watson
1766 copy of 1686 mortgage Hewitson
1766 copy of 1688 assignment Hewitson to Dyke
1766 copy of 1715 release Burton
1766 copy of 1728 release Burton

1763 purchase agreement Burton & Bram
1764 lease Burton to Collin - unactioned (probably due to death of Samuel Burton of Danbury)
1764 release Burton to Collin - unactioned (as above)
1764 lease Bugbee & Burton to Collin
1764 release Bugbee & Burton to Collin
The 4 1764 deeds are on parchment, the rest on paper. Clearly some event in 1766 (an imminent sale, perhaps) triggered off the copying of the earlier 5 deeds. All items are now well over 200 years old and are still in very nice condition. The property was known alternatively by the name Fambridge Lands but there is no obvious connection with the nearby parishes of North & South Fambridge. Very nice, if incomplete, piece of local history. (ref 50/20)  £90.00   Not for export

[Upton Park document]  Abstract of Title to Property at Green Street
This abstract was drawn up in 1893 as a consequence of the bankruptcy of John Frost, a Whitechapel dairyman, who'd acquired the property in 1868.  He seems always to have been in financial difficulties as much of the documentation detailed in the abstract concerns borrowing from Peter to pay Paul.  The actual property isn't specifically described other than being on the East side of Green Street, but a sketch plan compared with a modern A-Z would seem to put it somewhere between the today's Redclyffe Road (shown on the sketch plan as 'Proposed Road') and Tudor Road.  18 large paper sheets with a 19th as the covering sheet.  (ref 658/70)  £18.00 post-free  Not for export
