From 1731 through to 1907 there was a magazine published yearly called "the Gentlemans Magazine"
See link here -

The full set of those still available can be accessed online at this link, these can be individually searched.

but these only go from 1731 - 1750
I have not yet gone through the full set but I was lucky enough to find a full biography of one of the associated characters in my family tree that has lead me to possibly the original country of my own branch

Hi Kermie.
How do you view items on your first (Mirlyn) link?
I just seem to end up in a loop, getting referred from index to index. :confused:
Try this link

Try this:

Do you get a page with a search box?
Change the search criteria in the drop down box from "Word(s) anywhere" to "Title word(s)"
Enter "The Gentleman's Magazine" in the search box, using quote marks.
# 20 of the search results should be
The Gentleman’s magazine.
with the words Journal Digital Resource underneath the title.
The right hand column should have a link called
"Online links to individual volumes"
Click on this link & you should go to a page where all the volumes are listed with links called "Hathi Trust Digital Library Full Text"
Does this work for you?

Great!
I could swear that when I tried the original link yesterday, the link was to the final page in my description (the Hathi Library links page).
Had a heck of time finding it today. Perhaps a link expired overnight.

Success! Many thanks Adele!

Does this means it earns a sticky:cool:
I dont know whats happening
I found the link this moring
Cut and pasted the link into a fresh window and it loaded
well they do say computers are like women (only thier maker knows thier internal logic)
That Mrin site bears further investigation, they seem to have a comprehensive library of victorian publications, I recently came across a reference to another book that was listed as being held by this library
