I'm sure you all know about this, but I just thought I'd let you know. I've just ordered "A Grim Almanac of Nottinghamshire", which seems to list, chronologically, the details of various dark & eccentric deeds in the county in the nineteenth century (don't know if it goes past that)......crimes/suicide/apparent witchcraft/just general eccentrics etc....with details of what happened to those involved.
I've ordered a copy in case any of the names crop up in my families (don't know if my ggg grandfather's trial for attempted murder or details of his brother's/stepbrother's trial & transportation are in there)....got it for 3 Euros 60 plus postage, because it's only in an "acceptable state" (corner of cover missing & rubbing to edges), but thought it would be handy. The other copies remaining are considerably more expensive & in much better condition (but if you're in GB, the postage would be much lower)
Good to look out for &, if anyone has any family stories that they'd like me to look at to see if I can confirm them, I'll be only too happy to do so, once it has arrived
