Mrs Isobella (Ella) Shepherdson's personal diaries comprise: a small 120x180 mm black lined book 29 October 1927 to 29 July 1928; a 4 page typescript dated 31 December 1933; and a 160x230 mm black lined book 16 February 1935 to 9 December 1935.

The first volume may have been broken down some time and not properly collated on rebinding, some dates are therefore doubtful.
