Are you the lady who recently had an article in the local paper? You must have spent many hours in the Public Record Office, but ..... I firmly believe that in the bowels of the Record Office at Preston, will be tucked away your diaries. Unfortunately its just knowing WHERE to look for them i.e. knowing which index to look at. I have found that they have some amazing items tucked away, although it was only by a fluke that I located some of them. I even found they have some baby clothes from an Ashworth family from Clayton le Moors, from ... oooh, must be mid 1800's. It took me a long long time though to locate them. It depends which Council name they are filed under! Dont give up though!
