In the Jolly Writer, sec. 6.5.7, a procedure is described for adding a “local bibliography” to a document.
I cannot make this work with TeXmacs 2.1.4.
The steps given in the JW are as follows:

1. Add a bibliography to the document using your “global” .bib file. Whatever you cite in the document is shown in the  Bibliography section, no problems.
2. Open the "local" database by Document -> Bibliography.
    TeXmacs shows the entries corresponding to the citations in the document.
3. Add a new citation in the document, to an item that does not exist in the global .bib file. Say the item is "ABCD".
4. Add a corresponding new entry in the "local" database buffer, and save the buffer.

But now, after doing Document -> Update -> Bibliography once or twice, you get an error “I didn’t find a database entry for ABCD"
 
The problem seems to be that the local database isn't actually saved. Its interface doesn't have a green check mark for a new entry like the the entries you see by using the Data tool and doing Data->Open bibliography.

There is a discussion of this bug in http://forum.texmacs.cn/t/local-bibliography-jolly-writer/1966/6
