If the Newspapers can't help then try Portsmouth Museum and the Hampshire Records Office in Winchester.

Items like this were sometimes handed over to the Records Offices.
I'm sorry I can't give you the addresses but my computer is playing up but you can access the Hampshire Records Office online.

Good Luck

Margee,

Sandra has put the 1930's.

She could have loaned the book when she was in her early teens with the permission of her parents.

Your mother-in-law would have been 6 in 1930.

Researching:
Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)

Have you tried to contact any newspapers in the Portsmouth area?

(Are you saying that she loaned this book when she was a teenager?)

Back in the 1930's my mother in law loaned a logbook to a Newspaper in England I think in Portsmouth area the logbook was written by her grandfather Frederick Graham. The paper promised to take care of it and return it which they never did. My mother in law is now 89 and lives in Australia I would love to locate this for her.I can prove relationship to Frederick if necessary.Any ideas to help my search greatly appreciated.
