Found the Lady!!
After a visit to the Hampshire Record Office in Winchester and a search of the Museum web-site of The Prince of Wales's Own Regiment of Yorkshire, I have proved that Mary (Fawcett) Murray was the Victorian lady who kept the Calling Book, that my mother bought on Lymington Market many years ago now.I was subsequently contacted by a distant relative of Mary Fawcett. Wonderful!
I have summarised the final stages of my research:
Copies of a Final Report have been lodged with:
the St Barbe Museum and Public Library in Lymington
the Public Library in New Milton
the Christopher Towers Reference Library in Lyndhurst and
the Hampshire Record Office in Winchester
