Hi gang, Just a short note to thank you for being so welcoming to me after these 4/5 years' of absence. In return, can I point out a useful resource that I found a few years' back? archive.org It is a repository for out of copyright material. I found the following by putting in Text as the media. Gloucestershire Notes & Queries from 1881 - a miscellany of facts and info from GLS. Many of the Phillimore Volumes of marriages for GLS and many other counties PRs from all sorts of parishes in many counties transcribed by the Harleian Society, Phillimore, Leland Duncan, etc. Three volumes of biographical notes and "opera" - associated with GLS including Robert Southey who married one of the Fricker sisters Family history, local history, maths books (!), dialect, a wonderful potpourri! I always choose PDF as my format of choice but you can have it downloaded in others too. HTH. Thanks again Phil

Hi Phil In addition to your post Its worth knowing that Phillimores catalogue is also on www.archive.org <https://archive.org/details/cu31924031438173> Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 20/01/2014 14:50, Phil Warn wrote: > Hi gang, > > Just a short note to thank you for being so welcoming to me after these > 4/5 years' of absence. > > In return, can I point out a useful resource that I found a few years' back? > > archive.org > > It is a repository for out of copyright material. > > I found the following by putting in Text as the media. > > Gloucestershire Notes & Queries from 1881 - a miscellany of facts and > info from GLS. > > Many of the Phillimore Volumes of marriages for GLS and many other counties
