WHAT’S NEWThursday 2 February 2012 I have just uploaded some of the promised Quaker details onto the relevant page. Quakers were very good record keepers and although the Tetbury Accounts were on scraps of paper and in a scruffy notebook, tied up in a bundle [then of course stored correctly by Gloucestershire Archives in the usual acid free materials] they offer up some great details that may not be available elsewhere. Unless you have family documents how else do you prove that your ancestor was a pargeter, painter or a builder? The two site plans are on the page too but trying to work out where the little lane by the side of the burial ground was on there [after all the Bath Bridge was built by then] is tricky. If you have any ideas do get in touch. If you happen to be looking for a page that seems to have disappeared do get in touch as I have all the information in text documents, it’s just that they are not online any more. Don’t be afraid to ask!! Friday 20 January 2012 I have spent several days over the last couple of weeks or so going through non-conformist records belonging to Tetbury churches. Last week was the Quakers or Society of Friends books and documents relating to the Nailsworth Monthly Meeting, and this week it was the Congregational Church or Independent church on The Chipping. Much of the information is repeated in every entry so lots of reading through to pick out potentially interesting pieces. Such as the sad death of Thomas Holborow in prison back in the C17th - he was arrested for ‘he knows not what’ an ancient man of 69. He died a few weeks later. His crime - a Quaker! Nathaniel Cripps is the Tetbury name of the period who was imprisoned a couple of times for not joining the militia or paying his tithes. How lucky we are to enjoy freedom of expression in all walks of life. Tuesday 3 January 2012 Happy New Year everyone. I hope that you all have had a thoroughly enjoyable Christmas and New Year and that you don’t feel too depressed now work and routine has begun again. Soon be Spring.....! updated information on Baptist Church and I am currently working on the Overbury family who of course had a great deal of influence on the Baptist Congregation in Tetbury. You can order any of my books from the Store page
