"Release of one fourth part of premises in Birtle, Bury and Chester".

2 sheets of vellum measuring approximately 63 cm x 78 cm comprising a "release of one fourth part of premises in Birtle, Bury and Chester". The document records the release of land by John Ramsbottom (living at Moor Bank, Birtle cum Bamford) to the three surviving sons of Joseph Ramsbottom. The document recites how Joseph Ramsbottom's sons had been working together as woollen manufacturers, all listed as residing at Harrod Field, Birtle cum Bamford, together with their mother and a sister. The eldest brother, James, died unexpectedly, without making a will, and the entire estate was due to pass to the next eldest brother, Joseph, under intestacy rules. However, Joseph agrees that what James would have wanted would be to divide the estate equally between the brothers and making full provision for the sisters. A George Openshaw, woollen manufacturer of Pimhole, Bury, is also a party, together with his wife, Margaret (who may have been one of the Ramsbottom sisters as only one sister is listed as living at Harrod Field). The properties divided are Harrod Field and Jack Lee in Birtle cum Bamford and various shops and warehouses in Chester.
