Are we not confident that Mary Ward (nee Shepherd, previously Bryceson), Nathaniel's mum died in 1850 when she was living in Richmond Buildings and is buried in St Anne's Soho? The Marylebone death entry would make sense given her proximity to and former associations with the area. From the diary it seems she was struggling with cancer in 1946.

Hi all, this is Steven, Nathaniel's 3x great grandson. I missed the revisited thread. I have also found an article about Nathaniel as an old man which j can share. Is this the latest thread? ]

Thanks again Ruskie for co-ordinating this wonderful discussion. I read today's entry after returning home from ordering my own coal for the Christmas!

Dear all, I can't believe this will be the last week of NB's diary entries! I do hope the research and conversation continues from time to time. Thank you so much for everything you have helped me learn about my 3x great grandfather and others in his family. I am looking forward to exploring some of the churches and other places NB visited when I am on sabbatical in April-July. In putting together a list of the churches, it has occured to me that NB was working through an alphabetical list in 1846 from K - M by order of dedication eg. St Katherines - St Marys. He doesn't do it absolutely consistently but there is definately a pattern and not unlike the way my own mind works on these things: it must be inherited! NB lives on indeed!! Peace and joy, Steven.

6 ft is a grave for one person; graves go deeper for more (I think by 2 ft per person) 16 ft is deep but I guess that is what impressed NB!

I know there has been speculation about Ann being at Stephen Street on here but is this the first reference from NB to confirm where she lived?

I am totally with you on this: regonising one's mental instability is a great sign of having a truly healthy mind! Or maybe I am just a little crazy?!#

I told my wife my dream this morning. There were two horses in it and one died. She interpreted it in terms of my anxieties about looking after 2 cats, each one belonging to two different neighbours, prompted by one of the neighbours returning home and coming to see me on Monday evening. The horse link related to my preparation to take the lead role as Curly the cowboy in Oklahoma, for which I am busy learning lines! We were aghast when we read the entry on Tuesday evening. By the way, yesterday (Tuesday) was my 40th birthday. Mental illness affected my great grandfather (NB's grandson), Leo Bryceson, and of one of his daughters. Leo had a nervous breakdown when he was 40! Please God, I shall not suffer the same!! x

Wow, what an entry! I had such a shock when I read it though as I had a dream about a dead horse last night!!
