I discovered this very informative 'diary' which gave me several snippets of useful information foor my newly found Gloucester relatives.
I hope others find it just as useful.

I liked the entry for todays date 1832 - 'Whit Sunday - Dr Williams baptised @ St Lawrence Church 113 children. He was thus occupied from 12 noon till 5pm'....:)
another entry for 15/4/1835 records that 'Mrs Burdock publicly hanged at Bristol for poisoning an old lady: 50,000 spectators' (gruesome lot..:eek:)
