________________________

(TFPL, 2013: I can find no reference anywhere to any marriage with Coleth Simnett; it looks like this should be deleted and Edith Smart inserted instead.)

This line inherited the New Zealand and Argentine diaries of Atherton’s uncle, Arthur Littleton Powys.

His birth name on FreeBMD is transcribed as ‘Powy[s_] At[h_]erton Rich[a_]rd N Powys’ I’ve corrected this).

In 1901 he was a school boy living with his parents in Chiswick, Mx.

In 1911 he was a solicitor’s articled clerk.
