I do not know whether she was an ancestor, that is what I am trying to find out. I wish Odhams had a retrospective web site but I have not had any luck trying to find them. thank you if you find anything relative to my query. I will keep looking, |

So you knew already that the author was not your relative. Is that correct? |

Thankyou all. Yes this is the family. John was my grandfather. (bn 1884). I will keep trying to find the antecedents of the cookery book writer , in the hope that it will provide some clues. |

If you have one of her books who was the Publisher, or the illustrator, if there was one mentioned? |

If there is no biographical detail in the book in your possession, it may be that there's none in any of them. |

Between 1838 and 1903 there are 8 births for the name Lydia Chatterton in England on Findmypast (probably more as the 1851 birth isn't listed). |
