hi folks, here are some more BMD notices. 2 things though, before you start scrolling down: 1] these journals i've had access to are usually 6 months bundles, say Jan > June. but often some of the notices clearly predate that so are obviously late ones referring to the previous year. where there is any doubt, i've entered the year inspite of the source journal being dated. where they all realte to the yaer of the journal, i haven't bothered. 2] again, because there is simply so much typing to do, i've abbreviated the counties names to 3-letter codes - the Chapman Codes. for those not familiar with them, you'll find them all listed on the genuki page here: http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/Regions/Codes.html Gentleman's Magazine 1823 deaths: > ELLIOT: on 8th Oct, at his seat, Pinnacle Hill, ROX, ROBERT ELLIOT, esq., formerly of Amsterdam. > FERGUSON: 1st Sep., at Kelso, ANDREW FERGUSON, weaver, in his 91st year, about 40yrs since, he undertook to walk,as postman from Kelso to Mellerstain, which employment he gave up for a number of years, and again resumed it about 12yrs ago.
