            Acknowledgement of Deeds by Commissioners of the Common Pleas of Sarah Rebecca Frost wife of Josiah Frost, Northamptonshire, 15th December 1854.

Property they had an interest in: Syresham, Northamptonshire. The two Commissioners were: Benjamin William Aplin, Boddicott, Oxford and Edward Falkner Fairthorne, Brackley, Northamptonshire. Other People named: James Baldwin, Alfred Hayward.

Sarah Rebecca Newport born 1831 Syresham, Northamptonshire was the daughter of Charles Frederick Newport and Alice Wootton. She married Charles Frederick Frost on 18th March 1852 at Oxford, St Paul, Oxfordshire. She died in 1874 at Birdingbury, Warwickshire. 

Josiah Frost born 1828, Quainton, Buckingham was the son of Joseph Frost and Sarah Curtis. The 1861 census shows Josiah, a Farmer, and Sarah living at Draycote, Burton, Warwickshire. 

Sometimes known as Married Women’s Deeds or Acknowledgement of Deeds by Married Women. A Document to record that a Wife was of full age, competent to understand, had been examined apart from her husband and voluntarily consented to the sale of Land and Property. The main intention was to ensure that a wife could not claim the right of Dower from the purchaser after her husband’s death.  Single women and Widows had the right to own properties in their own right so were not covered by this 1833 Act.

The Declaration: Sometimes this first declaration could be signed by someone other than an Attorney and Commissioner (Gentleman, Farmer etc.) who knew the woman. Normally it was signed by an Attorney who was a Commissioner of the Court of Common pleas. Then signed by a second Commissioner who declared he had no knowledge or interest in the transaction and as far as he was aware neither did the first Commissioner. Sometimes the document would also be signed by another Commissioner (for Oaths) or by a Judge in his Chambers.

A second document, the Certificate, gave the names of the two Commissioners, wife and husband. A précis of the Indenture connected to the sale was given, naming all who were named in the indenture.
