Below
are some of the BMD’s, and miscellaneous Newspaper Items which I have come
across while looking through family photo albums and bibles as well as from
correspondence from other researchers.
If you see in brackets (rest was cut off) that just means, that a portion
of it was cut off by accident, when the page was copied.
In brackets (after the item), is the date the article was placed in the
newspaper. I’ve
been working on this quite a bit, so don’t be surprised if you find some
typo’s. Good
luck in your search.
