My wife's grandmother, Lucy FLETCHER, was living at Kemberton, Salop, in 1902 and received for her 20th birthday a "diary" called Thoughts & Theories, A Book of Confessions and Opinions for the Boudoir and the Drawing-Room.
"Thoughts and Theories" is a fascinating diary style book which contains the hand written entries of friends and relations giving their comments on a set range of topics such as poetry, music, marriage, country life etc.
The following is a list of those that made entries and if any name rings a bell I will be very pleased to hear from you.

It might be a good idea to search the Surname Interest Table here on Rootschat (devised by Berlin Bob  ) to see whether any other members are researching the names.

Hello
I was very interested in reading the names appearing in the old diary. I am a resident of Nova Scotia, Canada. I have been tracing my ancestral roots for a goodly number of years.
I just wanted to mention that I was interested when I saw the following surnames. "Lees"; "Rogers"; "Plant"; "Jones"
The lines I am researching are HUMPHERSON and LEES(e). The surnames I have mentioned appear on my tree.
My ancestors come from the following areas: Donnington Wood, Lilleshall, Newport and surrounding areas.
What further information you could provide would be appreciated.
Doris
