FoSOC Newsletter Articles

Friends of Southampton Old Cemetery

Index of Newsletter Articles

Issue: The Newsletter is issued every two months. From September 2006 Joy Plummer took over as editor, and an A5 booklet format was adopted. Early editions only bore the date, but from July 2007 each issue is identified by an edition number as well, beginning with edition 6.

Author: The author of the article as stated in the Newsletter.

Title: As far as is practicable this is the title at the head of the article. In a few cases I have had to assume a title or shorten the one given. I have omitted notices of events, etc

Subject: Where the article is concerned with a grave or memorial in the Old Cemetery the name of the subject is shown here. Perhaps surprisingly only just over half are of this type.

Where a subject is highlighted in blue, click to see the actual article.
