Title:

Digital Images Collection: Photograph of legal opinion concerning the insolvency of EG Trafford, deceased

Place name:

Michaelchurch Escley

Date:

1910

Description:

Photograph of legal opinion dated May 12th 1910 regarding the liabilities of the Executors concerning the insolvency of EG Trafford, deceased, and recommending that they seek the protection of administration under an order of the Court.

 

Observations:

Edward Guy Trafford died on the 5th February 1910. He was the eldest son of Charles Guy Trafford, and putative heir to Michaelchurch Court and Estate. However, after his father’s death in 1879 he was disinherited in favour of the second son, Henry Randolph, reputedly on account of having landed the family with substantial debts. It seems from this document that money troubles continued to dog him until his death.
