Clara's marriage record (to Charles Anckorn 27 December  1866 at St Mary, Newington) shows her father's occupation as MD. Witnesses are George Dancer Lea and Harriett Leo.   

 

Harriet Leo must be Harriett LEA ...her sister

If George did genuinely go to the US and retrain as a doctor it must have been during the Civil War - between the UK census in 1861 and Clara's marriage in 1866.

I was told some time ago that the diary was bought in 1974 from Miss W Myers who was an antiquarian bookseller.   Probably long gone. 
Incidentally Eccleston is a small village in Cheshire on the estate of the Duke of Westminster who, of course owns a great deal of that part of London.

Hmmm it seems there was a Winifred A. Myers who was an antiquarian bookseller based in London around that time; her name comes up quite a lot while googling as a source of various rare documents accessioned into public collections. I'm guessing they're one and the same.
