Many of the Ashworth children had nicknames or went by middle names: "Top" (Edith), "Titta", "Nit" (Mary), "Sid" (John), "Gwen" (Violet), and "Dorry" (Doreen).
A lot of the information that I have abouth the Ashworths, comes from a letter written by Dorren, youngest of the Ashworth children, to her niece, Josephine Ashworth Crompton Smith (later Guild), written about 23 years ago.
Glad to have you aboard - that's the cool thing about collaboration, different pieces of the puzzle come together from different sources....
Yes the collaborations are great when you find out new things, once i get the diary typed out I can send you a copy if you like? I'm not sure if you will find anything useful from it but it will be there if you want it.
Haha, when i type too fast I make so many mistakes, but to be honest I didn't even notice your's until you pointed them out , I must have read too fast :)
