My mother in law had a wonderful memory and could write out lists about all sorts of things. She has passed away now, but this list came into my hands today and I am wondering if anyone would like to take up the challenge to prove/disprove (or parts thereof). I had a look through and a few dates don't seem right...As I had a battle reading some of her handwriting I have had to guess at some words!
