Batch One

Batch Two

Anchor 1

Last week I received a second batch of historical documents from John Gugger.

In revealing the contents
I will this time adopt a
"Lucky Dip" approach;
in contrast to Batch one where I revealed documents in topical groupings.

Fyansford has long had a close relationship with Stonehaven, e.g. the operation of our local C.F.A. I also notice that there are notes relating to Murgheboluc. Some of the included documents reflect this partnership.

While some of the jottings have, at this stage, little or no meaning to me, I will include them in this bundle as someone in the past obviously deemed them worthy of keeping.

I will not list as single posts but add where most relevant as I proceed through the folders...

Sometimes I will post in gallery form though there might be as few as two items. This allows for maximum enlargement for easy viewing.

Remember to click first image to open gallery and to enlarge for easier viewing. Also check if there is a link.
