hope whoever buys them keeps them intact and makes them available digitally to all.

Perhaps an approach by a researcher to photograph the documents before sale for the purpose of recording the information in them for posterity rather than acquiring an original might be well received by the seller? I have found this works with Cromford related stuff when you approach with an 'Archivist' hat on.

Well the seller is in Stroud, Gloucestershire. Is there a member who could go and see them maybe?

Not wishing to de-value the Oxford Canal Company Gauge Register currently advertised on Ebay but I have transcripts of three different versions of this document, although my transcripts do not include the table section of each page. It is clear to me that each Register has its own merits as each will contain a few details that are different to all others.

 

Will I be making an offer...........................................................................................................................................................................................no.

 

The other Ledger is simply a traffic / accounting document that I am sure might interest somebody but is of limited interest to me as it does not include boat names

 

Likewise I will not be competing for ownership.

Thanks for that, Pete. It's good to know that the information is recorded already.
