I seem to have been lucky I paid my £6.00 for two days and found a lot of reports about my Wilton family who owned the pub in Kelston near Bath. Mainly chitchat about my grandfather who was a market gardener donating the flowers for the harvest festival and his sister playing the piano for various social events but still interesting background. My greatgrandmother who was my maiden namesake was fined 10 shillings for selling beer in unmarked earthenware pots. Also a report of the family attending a party to mark the end of the Boer war and all the children being given a silver sixpence.
I have found an obituary for an ancestor who died aged 81 in 1828. " ...removed by a gradual decay of nature without violent pain or lingering disease his hoary head was a crown of glory and his end was peaceful and happy."
