Title: Messrs William & Cornelius Allen, Administrators of Daniel Allen
Post by: drykid on Friday 21 August 20 14:28 BST (UK)
Not a request for help really (so apologies if this is in the wrong section), but just sharing something I came across recently - in a job lot of old paintings -  in case it's of use to anyone here.  Basically it's a framed legal document to cover the settling of accounts for the deceased Daniel Allen, with the proceeds split between twelve descendants.  The document seems undated, which is a bit surprising to me for a legal document, but anyway the penny lilac stamps used should date it to the period 1881 - 1901.

I'm posting it in the Gloucestershire section as it makes mention of a Tewkesbury bank account for Daniel, although the solicitor named is from Evesham.  So it's possible that it could be Worcestershire-related instead.

I doubt it contains anything of great importance genealogy- wise, but there's a nice amount of detail on it so it might be of interest to someone researching this particular family.
