The Shropshire Record Series
4 Shropshire
historical documents: a miscellany.

Shifnal; the diary of the Independent minister Henry Maurice who lived in Shrewsbury during the summer of 1672. It records his preaching and travels in Shropshire during this time; the
registers of 1,213 births in north Shropshire kept 1781–1803
by Thomas Higgins of Wem, a man-midwife; and the frank private diary,
1890–1, of Edward Lawrence, master of Wellington workhouse.
