Agree - M A Long or Lang.

(I think you mean "diary" rather than "dairy"? )

I agree, although I think it would be called a Birthday Book, rather than a Birthday Diary.   I have one that was commenced in 1846, and it has been passed down through my family.  I have a special fountain pen to add to it, in my bestest handwriting.  It is a real treasure trove,  includes not just the family birth dates, but also the birth dates for their spouses and any step children, and godparents too...

I have always called it a Diary simply because it has all the days and months in the year and you just have to add the name and year.

Yes, should be Diary. Can I correct the title?

Thanks for the enhancement and the transcription.
