Summary

File containing handwritten and typewritten correspondence, receipts and statements regarding the purchase of the property at 105 Page Street, Albert Park by Mrs Violet Morgan, the Reverend Dr Max Wilcox and Mrs Patricia Lorraine Wilcox from James Charles Loughrey. The property was settled on 14 December 1959. The documents range from 1957 to 1969.

Mr Loughry sold the property for £2150; the Rev and Mrs Wilcox then sold Mrs Morgan a half share in the property for £1075 (per Statement of Duty Payable, 22 Dec 1959).
