Dr Julian Gwyn, local author and historian, is currently researching information about a list of names in conjunction with some work he is doing on the diary of Jessie MacCallum. Jessie (1885-1957) was 15 years old when she began her dairy on 1st Jan 1901. Her father was Windsor’s town surveyor.

There are 300-odd names listed in Jessie’s diary. If any of our readers can provide any details about any of the people listed here, please contact us or comment below. Your contributions will be passed along to Dr Gwyn as well as kept in our own archives.
