    1. [ENG-WESTMORLAND] Purchase of Documents by CFHS
    2. Trevor Littleton
    3. Just a quick note to let everybody know that Cumbria Family History Society has bought the bulk of a collection of papers at Auction following the clearance of a local solicitor's attic space. Most of the documents relate to Probate but the interesting aspect of this is that the Probated Will is stored in a pouch which also contains valuations and correspondence relating to estate. I will post a list of names in due course. This purchase accounts for the bulk of the money donated by the Cumberland group for this purpose. On behalf of the Society I wish to thank all of those who contributed. Trevor Littleton, Chairman, Cumbria Family History Society.
