Bridgnorth - News and Events between 1852 and 1900
« on: Saturday 25 November 06 16:54 GMT (UK) »
Hi there,

I have copies of my new book for sale.

Bridgnorth - News and Events between 1852 and 1900*

A chronological list of approx. 2,800 events found in the local newspaper the Bridgnorth Journal in Shropshire. A fascinating glimpse back in time.
Published and printed by me in Nov 2006, containing 124 pages.

Plus unique information for the family history researcher. Approx. 1,500 records of births, marriages and deaths of Bridgnorth people including those in South Africa, Peru, India, Australia, New Zealand, etc.

Plus the names of many people mentioned in various Inquests, Sales, Bankruptcies and Affiliation Orders. Many Inquests and Court cases were reported in great detail.
Records those who wrote home from the Crimean and Boer wars. Their letters were frequently printed in the newspaper.
   
* Isolated issues were not available. Also the whole period from 1869 to 1887.

For further details or to purchase a copy, please either;

Visit my web site at http://www.chadwickg.freeserve.co.uk/booksales.htm
or buy it on eBay. Search using the word Bridgnorth.

Thanks,
Gwynne Chadwick
