Offer:North Derbyshire 1708-55

I have a copy of the transcription of the Diary of James Clegg of Chapel en le Frith, published by the Derbyshire Record Society.  All three volumes but one set of pages missing (it was a printer's reject)

James Clegg was minister of Chinley Chapel but also the local medic and while most of his visits were within a ten mile radius he went as far a field as Manchester and Macclesfield.

It names people visited births, baptisms deaths and some horrific illnesses and attempts at cures. Children are rarely named other than being identified by their parents name.
