Edward Arpin was Parish Clerk & Gravedigger at Felmersham, Beds & he lived 1763 - 1831, During the years 1814-1831 he recorded in his diary happenings within that village & neighbouring hamlet of Radwell, & includes various family names. This diary was transcribed by the Beds Historical records Society & appears in their 1960 publication, Volume 40 ' Bedfordshire Diaries'.
I have a copy of the 14 pages from that volume if anyone wants any information.
Extracts of the diary are already published (1985) in the excellent Book 'Grain & Chaff' wriitten by W E Draycott.
Regards John
