William Buckler’s 1983 Diary — Two Handwritten Sums

Source: William Buckler, 1983 diary, handwritten calculations.

Recorded calculations

361,467 + 4,644 = 366,111
366,111 + 3,895 = 370,006

The second calculation carries forward the result of the first: 366,111 is both the total of the first calculation and the starting figure in the second. The two calculations therefore form a continuous numerical sequence:

361,467 → +4,644 → 366,111 → +3,895 → 370,006

Description

The diary page contains two handwritten arithmetic calculations. No visible heading, date, payee, property description or other surrounding annotation in the supplied image identifies what the figures represent. The calculations should therefore be catalogued as numerical documentary evidence without assigning a purpose that the surviving image does not establish. ^🕒

Evidential significance and interpretation

The notable feature is not merely that sums were made, but that the first total, 366,111, is carried directly into the second calculation. This indicates that the figures were being worked through as a connected calculation rather than being two unrelated sums.

In the wider context of William Buckler’s 1983 diary and the family’s documentary investigation, the figures may represent an accounting, reconciliation, valuation, balance or other financial calculation. However, the present image does not identify the underlying subject. Their significance should therefore remain an open evidential question until the surrounding diary entries or other records establish what the figures relate to.

Research lead: The repeated figure 366,111 is a useful cross-reference point. Any nearby diary entries, papers, receipts, accounts or other records containing 361,467, 4,644, 366,111, 3,895 or 370,006 may help identify the calculation’s purpose and its relationship, if any, to the Williams/Buckler estate or Parcel A.

Evidence status: The image establishes the existence of these two handwritten calculations in William Buckler’s 1983 diary. It does not, on its own, establish what the amounts represent or connect them to a particular property or transaction.
