Businesses in Trouble

Tewkesbury Wills

The Society is most appreciative of three of its members who have made their research available for the benefit of others:

• Derek Benson: The London Gazette - Pages referring to Tewkesbury published 1682-1826 (2009)

Derek (webmaster@tewkhs.freeuk.com): is our Webmaster and Membership Secretary

If you find anything of interest in the index, you can contact Derek or John Dixon, who will supply an email of the appropriate article. Alternatively you can view the documents on-line at  http://www.gazettes-online.co.uk/

• Alan Edgecombe: Businesses in Trouble in Tewkesbury (1806-1854) (2009)

This spreadsheet provides an index, culled from local regional papers and some national papers as well. Alan (alan.edgecombe@care4free.net) is an ex-pat member who has given his time to cull through 19^th Century British Regional Newspapers, which library members can study on http://www.libraries.gloucestershire.gov.uk/index.cfm?articleid=10789

Alan’s choices have been transcribed by Joan Smith and can be accessed on the Woodard Database. (alan.edgecombe@care4free.net)

• David Drinkwater: Index of Tewkesbury Wills, 1858-1894 (2009)

This spreadsheet is in alphabetical order and shows the wills that are available for studying the County Archives with their reference number. (http://www.gloucestershire.gov.uk )
