Downend Parish Magazine, Bristol 1905
Copied below is the Original Downend Parish Magazine, published August 1905 which includes a number of serialised 'stories' by Victorian Authors, Local BMD for Downend and the surrounding area in 1905, and period Adverts by local traders.
This copy of the Parish Magazine has been kept in the family, and passed down through the generations because the marriage of my great grandparents William Edward Baglin (1839-1908) & Gertrude Rosa Burgess (1874-1958) is listed in teh BMD.
The BMD published in this Parish Magazine has been transcribed on the next page (link at the bottom), which also includes a link to the ‘Names Index’ of Authors of Articles, and Company names for Adverts in the magazine.
