Miller Mundy family of Shipley Hall, Heanor The records include title deeds for Allestree, Heanor, Mapperley, Shipley, etc. 1501-1895 and rentals 1796-1833, as well as various marriage and other settlements which detail acquisition of properties. There are title deeds 1520-1823 for out-county properties. For Shipley manor there is an abstract of title 1627-1716 and a survey 1805. Family business interests are represented in the records of Shipley Colliery, 1757-1874, and the Nutbrook Canal Company, 1879-1914. Among the family papers, the account book of Hester Mundy (later Lady Newdigate) 1767-1772 includes names of servants. Edward Miller Mundy I’s accounts 1772-1781 include household and estate information, as do those of his second wife Lady Middleton covering 1782-1787. Edward Miller Mundy II’s cash book includes farm summaries 1824-1826. There are household and estate accounts for 1825. An account book 1682-1697 of Edward Mundy probably belonged to a brother of Gilbert Mundy, younger son of John Mundy of Markeaton, from whom the Shipley branch descended. The account book includes personal and household information and refers to living in Markeaton, London and Allestree. There are also plans for the garden of Shipley Hall by William Emes in 1772. Correspondence from the 18th-19th centuries covers a range of personal and estate affairs, including colliery and canal interests, Heanor enclosure and family correspondence, including some from Australia. Admiral Sir George Miller Mundy’s naval career is well represented in the family correspondence, including a description of the capture of Le Furtet by HMS Hydra. Edward Miller Mundy I’s second wife was the widow of the 4th Baron Middleton. It is probably through this connection that the records include correspondence and receipts relating to the estates of the 3rd and 4th Barons Middleton 1772-1783. A book of medicinal and household recipes from the early eighteenth century may also originate from the Middleton family. There is some correspondence from 1801 about legacies left by Hester Lady Newdigate, Edward Miller Mundy I’s sister. A ledger recording merchandising or cargo space contracting in London 1661-1662 was later used to record rent receipts 1742-1779, but there is no clear connection with the Mundy family.
