Description: | In 1869, George Jones Barker and Thomas Barker agreed to purchase land and mines at Willenhall from the devisees in trust of the Will of the late Mr Thomas Hincks. Sarah Turton and Mary Hincks were the daughters of Thomas Hincks, and were beneficiaries in his Will of 23rd November 1865 (See DB-31/D/A/C/4*). There was a dispute over terms of title, costs of lease, and costs of agreement, which led to a legal battle.
Parties involved: Frederic Turton and others, Plaintiffs; Sarah Barber and others, Defendants. The plaintiffs brought the case that a conditional contract dated 7th July 1869 between the plaintiffs, and George Jones Barker and Thomas Barker, for the sale of premises at Willenhall, should be carried into effect. The surviving correspondence is between Deakin and Dent Solicitors, Wolverhampton; The Chillington Company, Wolverhampton; and other interested parties. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Wolverhampton Archives | Rights holder: | Wolverhampton Archives | Temporal: | Mar 1869-Mar 1885 | Source: | Black Country History | Identifier: | http://www.blackcountryhistory.org/colle... | Go to resource |
