Hi I am looking for information of my Great Great Aunt.
I'm not sure of her name but I do have her initals E.M. Green as she was an author and wrote a few books including one called The Dampier Boys.
Her father was the Rev George Clark Green of Modbury.
I am just curious about her as i have always had a copy of some of her books and would love to know something about her or even a photo of her if anyone has one
Thanks
