Diaries


Various members of the family kept diaries, or just recorded events, at various times. Preserved here as a peep at life in a different time


John kept a meticulous record of life with Grandad Bill after Grandad Bill got ill. Meticulous! You have been warned!! :)


Willie & Queenie kept diaries. Not long rambling diaries about what they were feeling about what was happening to them, but just punchy little records of the events of each day. John seems to have transcribed the contents for the 4 years from 1989 to 1992, and prepared html pages for each one. The contents will mean nothing to most of the current generation, but Paul & Moira do remember many of the events recorded here.
