I have original copies of this set of remarkable record, sadly you will have to trawl. But I will when get time check index of mine and put page numbers up of local events , but it is a wonderful record , lots of hangings , accounts from papers and local news Northumberland And Durham , it is datal tho, An account of the shooting of Warkwork Haulier whilst passing Town moor , ENJOY if you have the time and patience .

1870,
November 10. — This evening, the town of Alnwick was visited
by a heavy storm of thunder and lightning, when twenty-seven sheep,
the property of Mr. John Potts, of Cockhill, near Morpeth, were
killed by the electric fluid in the midst of tlie storm, while grazing
on Alnwick Moor.

Ah, I've got the earlier volumes which end in 1832. Brilliant books.

Thanks for the reference to these latest volumes Leslie.

Time and patience?!? This is fascinating stuff and kept me wide awake long after my bed time last night. The visit of Prince Christian to Northumberland was clearly a big event, attracting the attention of the great and the good as well as the locals. Thanks for the link Leslie. Can't wait to read some more!

Pleased your enjoying this as I did and still do . little snippets . I have Seven 19th century volumes of facts like this never ending enjoyment . but the volumes have index so can refer to there . i have two volumes on disc but like this as got to trawl through , always get sidetracked from what im looking for ,
