Subject The document begins by reciting an indenture of Bargain and Sale of 1738 by which Christopher Wilson of Burton Pidsea in Holderness and his wife, Elizabeth, acquired property in Ottingham Marsh. It consists of a cottage and garth totalling 3 acres. The recitals then jump to 1756 by which time the property appears to be jointly in the hands of Thomas Huntsby of Ottingham Marsh, Elizabeth his wife and William Wilson. They mortgage it for £35 to Nicholas Snaith. Nicholas Snaith has since died and Thomas Snaith is his son and executor. This present indenture is now paying off the £35 mortgage to Thomas Snaith but the property is conveyed to John Thurgar in trust to the use of Elizabeth Huntsby and William Wilson. (Sorry I have to admit that I'm not quite clear what is going on. But that's what it says!).
