Volume 1 Childhoods and family backgrounds
Volume 2 Marriage and early years
Volume 3 1920s
Volume 4 1930s
She had been planning a further volume to cover the war years and after but unfortunately her health prevented her from completing it.
11. Wates family chattels. A list of chattels with photos and descriptions which had belonged to Leslie and Lucy and which the family recorded as "heirlooms". They were originally in a trust formed in 1987 but this was brought to an end in 2023 and this list records the present owners. They come from both the Wates family and the Ainsworth/Willway family.
