Beatie Neill's Scrapbook   

Ursula Radford was given an exercise book full of cuttings from Western newspapers from 1886 to 1904. There was a faint imprint of some writing on one of the pages at the back which, when scanned in and digitally processed, revealed to writer to be one Beatie Neill. All that can be found out about her is that:

a) by giving her address as
Belstone Mine, Nr Okehampton, Devonshire, England, British Iles, Europe, Hemisphere, World
she was probably a reasonably young girl and

b) from one of the cuttings (below), she was a relative of a Captain J. Neill of "Belstone Mine, Sticklepath"

Neill Marriage
Over the next few months, I will be reproducing some of these cuttings and would be very grateful for feedback from anyone who can shed more light on Beatie or her family.
