Hello lovely volunteers. I live in Australia so I’m unable to get the the Gloucestershire archives. I am hoping that someone can please obtain the information in the in the following three records, and I would be very grateful for digital photos of these records if possible (less time and work for whoever is looking up the records also). 🙏
Thank you,
Amanda

Hi Amanda
If you are still looking for this information perhaps it might be best to contact the Gloucestershire Archive direct. They may be able to get someone to check it out for you.
I have just had a look at Gloucestershire Family History Society website and they have a help desk. For a small fee they may be able to assist, I think if you are a member then they do research look ups free of charge. This might be worth a try.
www.gfhs.org.uk go to research there is a form for you to complete.
Hope this helps

Hi Tilly,
Thanks for your reply and good suggestion. I am yet to investigate this further. I am a member of the society but the information I need isn’t amongst the society’s collections. I haven’t followed this further to know which end of the “‘send a donation’ or ‘employ a professional researcher’” scale this falls on. Hopefully it’s the ‘send a donation’ end as it’s specific records I’m after which I have the reference information for.
