Dear Angela, I am joanna and I am married to Michael Calverley, son of William Calverley, son of frederick Calverley, son of the diary writer. my husband has the original diaries as he is the eldest son of the eldest son etc., Sorry my original message was so short but I thought you may not be on the site anymore. I was thrilled to hear from you. My husband and his brothers and sisters were all brought up in a childrens home and two were adopted, pretty disfunctional!! I really don't know where you are on the family tree and the last thing I would want to do is open a pandoras box but I would be so interested to find out. My husbands sister veronica, who was adopted is also very interested. I like you have looked at the family tree and seen odd dates etc., and have always intended to do the research myself... well the children have left home and hopefully in between grandchildren duties I have time. I think you will have far more information for me than i have for you, I can't even find the diary writers father. I know he was in Leeds and then the family was back in Mickley minus him. Did he die or do a runner?? I know the diary writer was illegitimate. I got as far as you with Mary Ann - Newcastle. I am going to get my fiel out which has lay dormant on the bookshelf and refresh my memory. I would love to know everything you have found out are they related to William, they don't miss an opportunity to lord it over me. I guess my family were peasants!!! Can't wait to hear from you. P.s been to Mickley. Mick changed his name from Brian to Michael years ago another story. waiting in anticipation Jo
