Thanks Rose and Jax for your help, we have eliminated the Greenham marriage/children and are going down the Evans Marriage side as it all seems to fit... Once all this info has been collected it will be sent back to the lady in the US who has the diary and she can then get in touch with them and send the diary off to where it belongs..what a wonderful piece of history to own! Ooops sorry Rose, I dont know how the diary ended up in the US...If I manage to find out, I will post it up here and the outcome. |

There is of course a good chance that this family emigrated to the US at some point. |

I think you might be better off contacting the nieces and nephews. Quite often people come across these mementos because there are no surviving direct descendants. |
