Hi,
I'm a new member of group
I have an old legal document (thought to be genuine and not something prepared for tourists)
it consists of two sheets (76*57cm) bound by tapes & seals on a heavy paper and deals with parcels of land
and people in the Tadcaster area of York
There are some 20 names on the document none of which have any references to our families
I think my wife purchased it to have it mounted/framed as a wall feature, difficult as two sheets and writing on both sides
Until recently it sat in an archive box, and I've transcribed it to see what it's all about, all very complex and still trying to understand
Am thinking the York Group members will recognise the locations and possibly some of the players involved
Basically, I'm looking to flesh out a story about the document and what might have happened down the track, to be kept so people can read if interested
There are ~ 20 names having varying references & roles and the main ones are
John William CLOUGH
George SWIFT
Richard TOMLINSON
Richard MORLEY
George SAVILE
George ADDINNELL
William HARTLEY
Stephen HARTLEY?
And locations mention include:
Tadcaster, Oxton House, Newton Thyme, Wises Intack, Tadcaster Low Moor
I've attached the WIP Transcription together with a photo of the document and a section of the binding/seals and signatures
?
Cheers
