Hi Prudence,
Thanks for your reply, I have now passed the diaries to the Haviland family http://havilands.org/HavilandsCom/
However, I can recall that in the earliest diary there was certainly some references to your great grandmother, I believe it was something along the lines of 'she called herself a Parisienne from Paris' but worth checking with the website owner at the link I have given.
I am sure I found online a photo of the Rectory House where they were living in Lilley, certainly a very comfortable environment, the early diary described day to day life from a child's point of view with talk of the day to day activities, being a little frightened of the nursery at night, performing plays and the like.
Sorry I can't help further.
Regards
Gaby
