    I would also like to give particular thanks to those individuals fortunate enough to possess Brontë material and generous enough to allow me to use it: Roger Barrett; Alan Gill; Lynda Glading; the late Lady Graham, Norton Conyers; Sarah Greenwood; Arthur Hartley; Angelina F. Light; Barbara Malone; A. I. F. Parmeter; William Self; June Ward-Harrison. Thanks, too, to Joan Coleridge for permission to quote from Hartley Coleridge’s draftletter to Branwell Brontë. Gratitude is also due to the following people who went out of their way to assist me: Dr Alan Betteridge, WYAS, Halifax; Peter Dyson, Braintree; Donald Hathaway, Newton Abbot; Canon S. M. Hind, Kirk Smeaton; G. I. Holloway, Headmaster of the Grammar School, Appleby; Professor Ian Jack, Cambridge University; Professor R. D. S. Jack, University of Edinburgh; Marjorie McCrea, All Saints’ Parish Church, Wellington, Shropshire; Mrs Rita Norman, Secretary of the Wethersfield Historical Group; Dr Ray Refaussé, Representative Church Body Library, Dublin; Revd William Seale of Drumgooland Parish, County Down; Revd John Shead, Priest in Charge, Wethersfield; Dr Katherine Webb, York Health Authority. Not forgetting Mrs Chris Swift for her kindness to a total stranger: without her I might still be wandering round the streets of Wellington.
    I would particularly like to thank the Revd Colin Spivey who kindly lent me photocopies of the Haworth church registers and the late Eunice Skirrow whose enthusiasm for and knowledge of Haworth were an inspiration. Among the staff of the Brontë Parsonage Museum, I am also grateful to Margery Raistrick, Kathryn White and
