Old land records in Ashford, Kent
« on: Saturday 22 June 19 12:44 BST (UK) »
Is it possible to find old land records in Ashford Kent? By will dated 1613, Elizabeth Asherst of Ashford Widow bequested the house and lands of which she was possessed in Ashford to her daughter, Mary Brissenden, wife of Isaac Brissenden. Is it possible to find what lands she was in possession of as I would like to find the name of Elizabeth's husband (who was obviously deceased by this time).
It would also seem that these lands actually ended up in the hands of her other daughter, Elizabeth Asherst, who married Erasmus Elmstone of Lenham, as by her will dated 1636, she bequeaths them to her son, Richard Elmstone.
