1885 Conveyance.

Notes:

• Mary Ann Wiles sells the property to Betsy Collishaw ‘in fee simple’ for the sum of £59 (less than the £70 value of the previous mortgage).
  • Mary Ann Wiles is resident in the property at the time of the conveyance but she is recorded as formerly resident when the land tax is paid in June 1885.
• Further research is needed into the branches of the Collishaw family; see the notes attached to the 1885 Land Tax Form for some details of the involved individuals.
• Mary Ann Wiles was still alive in 1885; she would die 3 years later in 1888. She was unmarried and without children of her own although there were surviving members of the wider Wiles family in Hickling at this time.
  • Census 1881; she still appears to be recorded here as a sole occupant (unmarried, age 55). Her record is immediately followed by the household of John Magson (tailor) which is likely to place her still at ‘Old Mill Cottage’ (see property boundary descriptions).
  • No probate records have been found for the Estate of Mary Ann Wiles.
  • Mary Ann Wiles – see notes 1861 transfer of mortgage
  • She passes ownership of the property on to Betsy Collishaw in 1885.
