Marjorie CHETHAM [13129]

  General Notes:

John Allen Giles Diary and Memoirs manuscript.
Marjorie approached her cousin Ian Murray and suggested that John Allen Giles' manuscript of which they each had half, should be put together and Ian agreed and gave his half to her. In the 1990s she approached David Bromwich of the Somerset Record Office who was very interested in the document and published "The Diary and Memoirs". The original manuscript is in the Bodleian Library in six volumes. It is handwritten on large unlined paper with original watercolours, sketches, poems and pieces of material from three generations of wedding dress; also locks of hair from the heads of the two sons who died when very young.
