Administrative History	The Redferns were linked by marriage to the Taylor family as well as through their business connections. Messrs Taylor of Bakewell, later Brooke Taylor, were a long established firm of solicitors with partners involved in many aspects of local life. Papers from them have been received in Derbyshire Record Office over a number of years (DRO ref. D504), and early in 2003 complementary papers transferred by the firm to Derby Local Studies Library in 1959 were re-located to the Record Office to re-unite previously separated parts of the firm's archive. It is these transferred papers which are now referenced D5956.
Custodial History	Acquired by Derbyshire Record Office in 2003. Formerly DL43.
Organisation Sub-Type	Legal practices
Term	Business
Acknowledgements	Added to the catalogue as part of the FindersKeepers project by volunteer MmF.
