Transcribed by Mrs. J. Rothery of
Earl Soham, August 2001
These
notes were made for my own use whilst undertaking some research into the
Diaries of William Goodwin of Earl Soham. Where the writings are not
transcribed fully it is indicated by either … or by indicating the
number of pages left out i.e. (1/2 page). In many cases a 'lead-in' has
been typed. The transcript has not been re-checked. Original spellings
are used. It is hoped to transcribe the parts omitted at a later date.
Mrs. J. Rothery.
(Web editor's notes:
1. Some liberties have been taken with
formatting for display as Web pages.
2. Previous
visitors to these pages will have noted the problems with some dates in
the diaries. All three volumes have now been re-checked against the
original and dates corrected.
3.
The entries in Volume 3 are particularly confused in date order. There
are two or three different sets of handwriting, and there are still some
blank pages in the middle of the diary. One possibility for the mixed
dates is that some pages were missed accidentally, and used at a later
date. Because of this lack of order, the final 5 years of notes have
been lumped together.
4.
To aid understanding of the diaries, a new "Glossary
and Explanatory Notes" has been added in Jan 2003.)
