A manuscript volume containing the records of the births, marriages, and deaths of the Reynolds and Wathern Loderidge family over a span of 112 years, with a gap in entries beginning in August 1923 and resuming after July 1843. The entries vary in detail and length, some simply record the birth or death, while others provide the names of family members present and the emotions felt by various family members. The small volume is in moderately good condition, with contemporary limp green calf wrappers, inscribed on the front wrapper "Family Records;" there are four pages loosely inserted into the volume.
