The Diary of Nathaniel Bryceson (Part 4)

[deb usa]

Morning all

Evening Ruskie    Just tried to call you ...but you're not there 

I would love Steven to be in touch with living rellies ...NB had kids some living some died early ...I think we need a little summary...ie: who married who and kiddies names (POB and DOB)

I am still perturbed that I cannot see John Shepard Bryceson in 1901 ...very strange! I was also wondering if any family members had immigrated ...can't see any yet ...but do not have all the names. I was also wondering if any family had served in WWI , but yet again we need names.

I think I have an affinity to John Shepard Bryceson as NB maybe wanted to remember his lovely Granny!

According to my map Hungerford was less than a mile from Nat's home - an easy 15 minutes.

I can't remember if anyone's mentioned this particular map, but it's the same year as Nat's current diary, so is useful for following his tracks.

hi again

Was the Palace open for excursions in those days? I cannot even bear to think of the damage in the gallery (paintings) of the Palace the night before when the storm happened.

the italics ...very strange as he mentions the 3rd August ...so was he writing in his diary after midnight of the 2nd?

"expenses of this were cheap for myself.  Mattie cost me about 2s.Monday 3rd August 1846"

Hi all

Just thought I'd mention that Dempsey Street is clearly shown on the above map - refer section 3-5(X) in the top RH corner. It runs north/south between Green St and Charles St, which in turn runs NE off Commercial Rd.

hi


strange that it runs through GREEN st as Ann Fox has a birth place as Green St or Queen Street in 1851 ...maybe new eyes can have another look ....please ....
