The Common Room / Re: Possible Chancery Case?

Coal leases were the usual way for colliery companies to extend workings beyond the property where the mine shaft was situated.  Hundreds of leases were granted in coal mining districts.  Some enclosure awards retained the rights to minerals below ground to the lord of the manor.  There were lawyers who specialised in coal mining work.  Royalties were usually paid to the coal owners for the volume of coal extracted, even after nationalisation.  All surviving leases now belong to the Coal Authority, which succeeded the National Coal Board.

Thank you for your reply, that's very helpful

The Common Room / Possible Chancery Case?
« on: Tuesday 07 May 24 17:02 BST (UK)  »
Hi all,

I've found a notice in a newspaper - The Derbyshire Courier 2ND September 1865 - about an application to be made to the Court of Chancery.

I'm shortening this somewhat, but it refers to 'An Act to Facilitate Leases and Sales of Settled Estates.' It lists all the interested parties and guardians of those under legal age. It refers to granting a lease to Thomas Holdsworth, Coal Master, of certain coal lying within and under certain lands situate at Pilsley. Am I correct in assuming this would give Holdsworth the right to mine coal under the lands mentioned? The Holdsworth family were pit owners in the area.

I know whose settled estate this refers to, one of the plots mentioned is my late father-in-law's farm house and I'm trying to look at the owners.  I'm hoping to go to the National Archives in September & look at the Chancery records. I've searched TNA from home & can't find a mention of this case under Chancery.

thank you!
Caroline

Hello... :)

From what has already been found this link may help further confirm this is your family.

If you choose Redhill from the dropdown list and put in grave number 2525 there are four burials.

Thank you

I don't know why I didn't think of a previous marriage, probably because she's listed as a daughter with the same surname.

Thank you

Presumably she's Hilda's daughter from a previous relationship. Is she the Lillie Maud Hemsley/ Maud L Pratt in the 1939 register? Born 20 August 1914.

Thank you, that's looking good!

Thank you. And thank you for your help

Nottinghamshire / Missing Person

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to find a birth record for Maud Lillie Bateman. She is aged 6 in the 1921 Census, living with her father, Bertie, her step-mother Hilda and two brothers and noted as being born in Nottingham.

She's a bit of a mystery as she's missing from a family photo taken in 1917; my Grandmother is included on the photo & she was adamant that she was the only girl on that side of the family; all her maternal cousins were boys.

The family did move around a lot; children were born in Aylsham, Nottingham and London; Maud's mother died in 1917 in Suffolk

thank you,
cally
