Hallo again - I've been rooting around Dedham on another matter and I came across a card index system for property at Essex Record Office which included a reference to 'Llandoyley House' in Dedham. Bearing in mind your nom de plume...and Uttoxeter is fairly close to Wales after all...I felt I should let you know just in case... These are details from the 2 index cards in case I can't find them again:
B4889     Dedham 1912
Llandoyley House on main road from Colchester to Dedham
House and land in Station Road

B1021    Dedham    1910
Another copy
B4706    Llandoyley House
               Plan                        and I have looked no further as yet.

Does 'Llandoyley' ring any bells?

I have come across a manuscript on the life of Sir Robert Barrie and in it contains a mention of his aunt, Agnes Gardner, and that she ran a type of school for girls.  The author of this manuscript did not footnote this to indicate where he found this information.  Would there be any liklihood that her partner, Mrs Mary Prior, might have been a teacher at her house?  Do you have any suggestions with this possibility?
