This transcription has been prepared with a lot of help on first names provided by Bosbury residents.
Note: These Almanacks were published regularly and were used and then discarded so are difficult to come by in good condition.
My copy of the 1976 Almanack was purchased from a Herefordshire second-hand bookshop and reference copies are available for
study at the Herefordshire Archive and Records Centre in Hereford.
