  • The Jasper Allen Documents
    Worle History Society Jasper Allen Documents Worle History Society The Jasper Allen Documents A collection of documents relating to the holdings of the Smyth-Pigott family in the Worle area 1 Worle History Society Jasper Allen Documents The Allen Documents Introduction In 2013 Worle History Society was extremely fortunate to be offered the loan of a collection of documents relating to the historical property holdings of the Smyth-Pigott family. The loan was kindly made by Jasper Allen, a descendant of the family. Jasper’s mother was Anne Mary Cecilia Smyth-Pigott, daughter of Joseph Ruscombe Wadham Smyth-Pigott, and wife of Wing/Co Hubert R. Allen. The documents were chosen from a wider collection as having particular interest for the Society in its enquiries into the history of our parish. A working group of members was set up to discuss how best to investigate and record the documents. While a full-scale exercise to photograph the documents might have been desirable it was considered to be beyond our means in terms of both expertise and resources. It also seemed to be at least as important to actually come to grips with the contents of the documents and to find some way of recording the information. Accordingly, a record sheet was devised which aimed to capture the main details such as names of individuals, place names, field names and any additional features that might occur. We are presenting the information in the form of a PDF document. We felt that a printed document would be cumbersome and hard to access whereas this format will allow researchers to search for specific names and follow any leads that might result.
