Absolutely lovely Pat. What a precious book. Thanks for posting. Viv.
Hi, I too have an autograph book very similar to this, dated, 1930-1934 with verses from various people which belonged to my Grandmother, Gladys Woodbridge. I have been trying to find out where she was brought up as she must have been sent away after her birth as she was born illegitimately. Some of the verses are similar to those in Mary Ellen Cremin's book. Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to upload them to this site. I wonder if you might know of the staff members' names from the early '30's or where I could find out how to find them? Many thanks, CHINCH.Words from the wards!!

Will send you the pm.Please, can I have a look at the method you use.
Hi Pat, the name is, Cecil Harry or Henry Lloyd or Lind? Maybe I'm not on the right track if this is such a widely used verse. It does look like the same writing though, the "p" is the same.I tried to make an appointment to look at the records at the library but they inform me that the records are closed for 100 years, However, I can pay a stranger to look at them for me!! Strange.Yes, the two verses are pretty much the same, just the odd word. Handwriting looks very similar and could be the same - different writing instrument and 18 years apart.
The forum watermark hides the signature on the other verse - what is the name?
