SUBJECT
There is a photo and lots of detail in a property document of 1873 which begins by reciting that Samuel Cross (senior - who is the father of the one listed above), died in 1849 intestate.
His family then consisted of Ann Cross his wife (since deceased), and children Thomas Cross, Sarah Molyneux, John Cross, Elizabeth Hickson and Samuel Cross. The family agreed that Ann Cross should continue to live in her husband's house during her widowhood and also receive the rents from three other houses owned by him. After her death or remarriage the four houses were to be divided equally among the children.
The document is part of the process of implementing the above agreement.
