1897 – Whitstable Parish Church Magazine – August

The second of these pages which are from transcriptions made by Ken Sainsbury from issues of Whitstable Parish Church Magazines which he has kindly allowed us to include on this site.

This issue is only 14 months on from the first so many of the church personnel are the same but the baptisms and burials for this month may be useful to you.

No marriages this issue nor details of financial contributions (maybe it was an annual list).
