Richard - my name is Valerie! V. interesting info from you and all confusing...I have been talking to my 2nd cousin who now lives near Stocksfield re the Leatherland family ie Diana's side. Harry and Elizabeth Leatherland lived at Darras Hall in a house called Habeth and D was brought up there. Mrs L had a sister known as Aunt Mina (Minor?) who has a son Ralph. Ralph married Elsie who ?was Australian. Are these your parents? Who is your Aunt who knows re this - v. intriguing!
I am related through my maternal grandmother who was Dorothy Smiths sister - maiden name was Raine. So the late Bill, who died at the end of last year was my 2nd cousin. I knew the house well as I had my 21st birthday party there and was later married from there. Played tennis there and altogether had a lot of fun. Maybe all this is already telling you what you know - if so, apologies! Yours Valerie.
