Here it is at last - typed up from her manuscript. Huge gaps - for instance,

1. Her youngest son, Adrian, was born in London when Arthur was curate at St. John's, Smith Square.  

2. Alison taught needlework and design at Duncan House School, The Promenade, Clifton, (1864 – 1967).

3. Her uncle Corry's involvement in that appointment is rather unclear.

4. Arthur was courting her at that time and visited her, serenading her with his violin.

5. It was here in Bristol that Alison met Ethne who was also working at the school.

6. Much later Alison invited Ethne down to East QuantoxHead to keep Arthur company while she was off with Richard Marriott.

7. And of course while Alison was in America during the War, Ethne cemented her position.

Alison’s memoir poses many questions, but does provide a little more family history. 

We have made some very slight changes to improve clarity and readability - the odd comma, etc. - and have added a little here and there in [square brackets], and also added footnotes.
