Property Transcriptions -

Dated 7th October 1818 - Lease for a year. (see below)

PARTIES

John Kirk of Cossington Mill, parish of Cossington, Leicestershire, Miller

William Kirk of Cossington Mill, parish of Cossington, Leicestershire, Miller

John Vincent of Sutton, parish of Broughton Astley, Leicestershire, Maltster

(William Kirk is the eldest son and heir of John Kirk by his late wife Ann, formerly Ann Beale.)

SUBJECT

John Vincent obtains a lease for a year from the other two parties on property in Sutton, Broughton Astley.

The property appears to consist of a 1/4 share in two cottages and 2 acres of land.

This is a standard Lease for a year at a rent of a peppercorn, which implies that it is the first part of a contact of sale by Lease and Release.

Dated 8th October 1818 - Contract of Sale. (see below)

This is the second part of a contract of sale by Lease and Release since we are told of a Lease for a Year having been made the previous day.

PARTIES

John KIRK of Cossington Mill, Parish of Cossington, Leicestershire. Miller.

Robert CARVER of Primethorpe, Parish of Broughton Astley, Leicestershire. Gentleman.

John VINCENT of Sutton, Broughton Astley, Leicestershire. Labourer.

Thomas HUDSON of Harborough, Leicestershire. Farmer.

SUBJECT

John Vincent is buying property at Sutton in the Parish of Broughton Astley from John Kirk for £191/5/-d.

It consists of a three-quarter share in a messuage, close of 2 acres and one other cottage.

It appears that the property came into the hands of John Kirk in 1807 at which time Robert Carver appears to have acted as a trustee on his behalf. Thomas Hudson is now acting as a trustee for John Vincent and plays little real part.

NB. The above 2 title documents are now in my possession if any family member wishes to see them.
