Hi Paul
Its Catherine again. Reading the extracts again I really think the diaries were my father's. He had a brother Cavell & one called Kit. He was born Feb 13th 1922. He married my mother in London at Dulwich college chapel. They lived in Bolton where the were both teachers. My brother & I were born in Bolton my sister in Lake district. We did have an elder sister who did not live. My father moved with his family to Watford in 1968. His elder brother had moved to Harpenden.
If you still have the diaries I would very much like to have them as my father died in December 2011 just short of his 90th birthday. I kook forward to hearing from you.
