Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Shorthand on Bible flyleaf
« on: Wednesday 04 March 20 00:23 GMT (UK) »
Hello All,
I would be grateful for help in deciphering 2 lines of shorthand in a young girl's Bible written in the 1850's.
Thanks, John

The Common Room / Deciphering shorthand in Bible

Hi All,
I would be grateful for help in deciphering two lines of shorthand found in a Bible.
It is possibly a biblical text.
Thanks,
John

Thank you for trying, Harry.
We have the NZ entry, thanks.
Our main project is to verify such statements that Margaret Richardson did in fact work in the Ragged Schools or other institutions.
A lot of information seen today is based on an obituary published at the time of her death which may or may not be completely true.
Best wishes,
John

Hello Harry,
Thank you for the link to Margaret Sievwright (nee Richardson) in the Biographical Dictionary of Scottish Women. Unfortunately her write up is not complete as pages 324-325 are not shown. Would it be possible to send a link perhaps using "Margaret Sievwright New Zealand" as key words which may fix this?
Thanks again,
John

Scotland / Margaret RICHARDSON (1844-1905)

If I may, I would like to ask a favour of anyone going to the Historical Search Room, General Register House, Edinburgh.
My wife is researching Margaret Richardson (1844-1905) who was one of the leading lights in Women's Emancipation in New Zealand. She worked in an Infirmary in Edinburgh 1867-1876, sponsored by a Ladies Association (found this in Edinburgh PO Directories).
There is possibly mention of her in the records of New North Free Church, United Free and Church of Scotland, NRS reference CH3/468,
CH3/468/4
Deacons' court minutes, 1854-1868
and
CH3/468/5
Deacons' court minutes, 1868-1886
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

Hello Forfarian and others,
In my research for Margaret Richardson I have recently found her mentioned in Edinburgh PO Directories in 1860s and 1870s in List of Female Missionaries or List of Bible Women, with the support of the Ladies Association.
Would you know anything about this Ladies Association organisation or where records may be stored?
Thanks,
John

Hello Ciffygee,
Some time has elapsed since we "corresponded" here.
How did your research go in the Dr Guthrie Ragged School records?

John
