It was suggested a while back that Nat perhaps didnt get on well with his stepdad, Matthew ward. I think he likely did as :

1. He takes walks with him
2. visited a royal palace as a day trip as a pair
3.  Names one of his daughters middle names as Ward. You wouldnt do that to honor someone you didnt like. He gives the same accolade to granny shephard.

(she isnt mentioned recently...)

I'm the same Nesta - I find it really difficult to follow any tree unless I see it as a diagram. So that is really helpful Mongibello.

I also wonder about Mrs S. Earlier in the diary didn't someone tell Nathaniel that Mrs S was John Bunyan's descendant? Maybe they were wrong?  :-\

I agree with you Steve. Nathaniel seems to get along quite well with Matthew Ward. He has even mentioned sympathy for him when he has had to look after Mary.

Good point about the surname Daisy.  :)
