Journals of Miss Green

Scope and Content

Personal journals kept, probably by a Miss Green, in five unlined notebooks of a seven month visit to family living at Brompton near Chatham in Kent and of a similar period of time when the writer had returned home to Brixham, Devon. The entries give detailed information about the experiences and social activities of the writer and her family.

Administrative / Biographical History

From internal evidence, it is likely that the writer is a Miss Green, daughter of Joseph Green of Parkham Cottage, Brixham, Devon. A record of the marriage of Joseph Green and Elizabeth Adams at Brixham on 23 January 1791 is listed in the International Genealogical Index. The writer spends several months with her uncle Robert Adams, of Brompton, near Chatham, Kent who is possibly her mother's brother.
