Account of the Janssen Family
This manuscript account was copied from Wotton's 1741 Baronetage and other sources.  No clue as to when it was written - we'd guess pre-WW1.  The gist of the info is that the family originated in Holland and after a spell in France became naturalised in England in 1685.  They seem to have settled in Wimbledon.  These quite scrappy notes may well provide vital clues to a Janssen researcher - certainly it'll provide pointers as to where to look.  Some of the notes are transcribed in French.   Paper, 8 sides.  (ref 405/22)  £10.00 UK post-free

[Camberwell] 3 Property Deeds to 21 McDowall Road
Newly built, this property was leased in 1889 by William Minet to Andrew McDowall (surely not a coincidence?). In 1901 his widow signed over the lease to Catherine Elizabeth Harris. Before his death Andrew McDowall had mortgaged the property (this document is missing) and the mortgage was transferred to another lender in 1891. This mortgage transfer document also bears a further transfer dated 1894. The three surviving deeds of 1889, 1891 & 1901 are all on parchment and are all G.

[Croydon document]  Conveyance of 40 Houses in Priory Road

[Gipsy Hill] Counterpart lease of property in Alexandra Road
This 1888 document concerns a property known as Honeycombe which appears to have been being built at the time. I think this is the Alexandra Road near the modern Penge East station, but a plan of the property shows the property to be adjacent to a Victoria Road, which I cannot locate. The house next door was called Pentillie. (ref 6949)  £8.00 post-free  Not for export

[Godstone/Bletchingley/Caterham/Tandridge/Warlingham/Chelsham document]  Scheduling of Property by the Land Commissioners
Official copy of an 1883 Order affecting 2759 acres laying in the various parishes above, owned by Sir William Robert Clayton Bt.  Several farms are named, also several unhelpful 'cottage and lands' and there are other entries such as Flinthall, Garston, Ivy Mill, Tillingdown, Birchwood, Westhall and Lay Meads.  Fortunately for all the named and un-named properties the names of tenant or occupier is shown - in all there are 14.  If your ancestor lived on the (apparently) scattered Marden Park Estate he just might be listed - email to check.  The schedule is in manuscript on a single parchment sheet, approx 19"x15" so would frame quite well.  Bears the embossed orange seal of the Land Commissioners together with signatures of two of the commission's representatives.  (ref 429/6)  £15.00 post-free  Not for export

[Godstone document]  Architect's Report on the Godstone Park Estate
This 1867 mortgage suitability report by a London architect concerns a 30 acre piece of land, clearly part of a much larger area being sold off piecemeal for development.  Despite a plan being attached to the report we found it impossible to pinpoint the location of this not insubstantial plot.  The few roads on the plan are all annotated as newly formed roads.  As far as the report concerns (which we'd regard as a surveyor's report rather than an architect's) the wording that might help is "Blindley Village Church is within half a mile of the site, and the new and commodious Hotel with the extensive Stabling attached and the adjoining shops are still nearer.  The Railway Station is little more than half a mile off....".  Manuscript on 2 large paper sheets with a 3rd as the covering sheet, hand-drawn & coloured plan which breaks the plot down into smaller plots marked 1010, 1011, 1012, 1013 and 1017 which are either from the OS map or perhaps the tithe map.  All rather worn & torn, and priced accordingly.  (ref 3357)  £10.00 UK post-free

This 1842 indenture is a deed of transfer of the unexpired part of a 29-year lease of The Mansion House 'on the West side of the road leading from Kennington to Newington in the parish of Saint Mary Lambeth.....'.  This would appear to be the former Mansion House at 46/48 Kennington Park Road which closed in 2006.  Manuscript on large parchment sheet, signed by both parties Samuel Small Clark (of The Black Prince, Walworth Road) and Robert Clark (of The Mansion House).  (ref 452/2)  £15.00 post-free  Not for export

[Limpsfield document]  Sale Agreement
This is a draft copy of an intended 1903 sale (to Henry Sykes of Oxted) of a 42 acre plot, which appears to have been all or part of Chartlands Farm.  In a schedule at the end are listed the names of several fields - Kilnfield, Lower Longlands, Upper Mead, Lag Mead, Lower Mead, Upper Bottom Field and Lower Bottom Field  - and with these came Chartlands Farmhouse and a former hop garden.  Being just a draft copy, the writing is scrappy and there are many alterations in several hands;  nevertheless there must be some useful detail to be gleaned from these 9 large paper heets.  (ref E354/168)  £6.00 post-free   Not for export

An 1839 manuscript copy of a 1799 certificate that John Prior had contracted to pay £587 [in 13 instalments] as a once-and-for-all payment of his land tax.  A quite important local history document in that one of the plots of land covered is described as 'A brewhouse malthouse and dwellinghouse lately occupied by William Richmond but now in his [ie John Prior's] own occupation'.  Another entry reads 'A public house the sign of the Jolly Gardener in the occupation of John Watts.'  The outside (as folded) of the document is very grubby but the inside quite decent given its age.  (ref 219/15)  £15.00  post-free  Not for export

[Ockley]  Sale Poster for Two Adjoining Cottages
This 1840 printed poster announces the forthcoming sale at The Red Lion of 'Two neat cottages with gardens, pleasantly situated, overlooking the Green within a few yards of the Turnpike Road at the South end of the village of Ockley.....'.  One of the cottages had only recently been built.  It seems both cottages were empty as the poster makes no mention of tenants/occupants.  Size approx 13"x20", old folds, an old crease will flatten out with care, but the poster would look good in a frame on the wall at The Red Lion.  (ref 557/2)  £20.00 UK post-free

This little group of deeds chronicles the ownership of the above pair of houses (originally numbered 5 & 6) from 1884 to 1922, though contained in the 1884 mortgage are details going back to 1868.

[Peckham/New Cross] 2 Assignments of The Canterbury Tavern, (Near) Old Kent Road
These 2 assignments are dated 1891 and 1895. The tavern is described as being situated 'near the Old Kent Road...and at the corner of two Streets there called Manor Grove and Canterbury Road...', which would seem to put it near the New Cross Hospital. Both on parchment, the earlier one is signed by victuallers Henry Parkingson and Charles Bull and the later one by victualler Edwin John Howell. There is clearly one or more missing documents dated between the two. (ref 1/221)      £12.00 post-free    Not for export

[Reigate document]  Scheduling of the Reigate Priory Estate by the Board of Agriculture
Official copy of an 1895 Order affecting over 400 acres of Reigate, principally Reigate Priory Gardens & Park, London Lands Farm, Priory Farm, Lords Mead, many houses, shops and several public houses in the High Street, ditto Bell Street, several houses in Church Street, London Road, Hardwicke Road, Worcester Road, Yorke Road, Somers Road, Nutley Lane, Back Lane, quite a few in West Street, a few in Crossways and Priory Lane, Cockshot Hill, South Park and Reigate Heath.  An important document for both the local and family historian in that well over 200 tenants/occupiers are named - all the properties being owned by Lady Henry Somerset of Eastnor Castle in Herefordshire and The Priory, Reigate.   Manuscript on 2 large multifolded parchment sheets (approx 28"x23" each), bears the red embossed seal of the Land Loan & Enfranchisement Company and the signature of the company's secretary.  (ref 429/4)  £30.00 post-free   Not for export

The two Reigate documents above are examples of late Victorian Government-orchestrated schemes - commencing with the 1864 Land Improvement Act - which enabled  landowners to borrow large sums of money ostensibly to carry out improvements to land (such as improvements to drainage etc) and other property.  In the above examples Lady Henry Somerset appears to have borrowed £7200 in March 1895.  The later (November 1895) document mentions a figure of £6620, though we haven't been able to determine whether this was a lowering of the original amount borrowed or an addition sum.  In both documents the reason for the borrowing is given as 'for the improvement of the Mansion House known as The Priory Reigate by alterations and additions thereto.....'.  We'd welcome any further insight into the scheme in general.  We know that much of the funding originated from professional lenders such as insurance companies, but little else about a scheme that was clearly nation-wide.

[Richmond]  Deeds and Documents to Houses in Windsor Road
These concern 8 houses built in the then Battenberg Road in 1895.  The houses were leasehold from day 1 and the collection of documents includes the original 1895 leases for 3 of the 8 (Elm Villa, Laurel Villa, Maple Villa) and their counterparts.   Together with 6 other deeds, they provide early detail on the 8 houses.   Subsequently the houses were numbered 47-59 Battenberg Road and sometime between 1918 and 1920 the road was re-named Windsor Road.  Interesting group of 12 deeds, all but 1 on parchment.  (ref 8/246)  £55.00 post-free Not for export
