Legal papers relating to the sale of Herne Bay windmill.

An array of legal correspondence, papers, drafts and accounts associated with the parties to the sale of the windmill at Herne Bay in July 1879. The papers date between 13 July 1878 to 16 October 1880 and relate to: correspondence regarding the payment of succession duty on the deaths of Henry Stanley and James Alexander; a dispute as to responsibility for paying for the previous miller's fixtures (the miller, Thomas Wootton having been given notice to quit upon the sale of the windmill); ascertaining details as to the birth and death dates/ burial locations of various members of the Alexander family and other individuals previously having an interest in the mill (such as Edward Charles and Henry Stanley); queries regarding progress on the administration of James Alexander's estate. Some of the correspondence from the Alexander family is written on black-edged mourning paper.
