John Smith (Anglican priest)
The Rev. John Smith( 1799 – 3 March 1870) was the Rector of St Mary's church in Baldock in Hertfordshire and is noted for being the first person to transcribe the Diary of Samuel Pepys.
Smith was the first to decipher the complete text of the Diary of Samuel Pepys while a student at Magdalene College, Cambridge where the Diary is kept( others had previously deciphered sections of it).
Smith laboured on the Diaries for three years, from 1819 to 1822, and had assumed that they were written in code.
He broke the code by comparing the section in the Diary concerning the escape of Charles II from Worcester Castle with the longhand version of the same event Pepys published later.
Later Smith was told that the diary was actually written in a shorthand system devised by Thomas Skelton and that the textbook Pepys learnt it from was on the bookshelf above Smith's head.
Smith's transcription, which is kept in the Pepys Library, was the basis for the first published edition of the diary, edited by Lord Braybrooke, released in two volumes in 1825.
Smith also worked on other material by Pepys, transcribing the so- called" Tangier Diary" of 1683 in the Bodleian Library.

William Holland (diarist)
William Holland( 9 May 1746 – 17 April 1819) is now best remembered for his diary, which he kept from 1799 to 1818.
The diary chronicles his life as the vicar of Over Stowey, Somerset.
In a similar fashion to the diary of Thomas Turner, Holland's diary is a personal consideration of the workings of country life during a time of considerable national tension.
The diary is broad in scope, with limited discussion of national events such as the Napoleonic Wars occurring alongside treatment of local matters.
Not all of the diary's original 99 volumes survive; particularly, entries written both before and after the current known time- span of the diary are thought to have existed.
Extracts from Holland's diary were published by C.F. Johnston in 1984.
In 2003, the book" Paupers& Pig Killers: The Diary of William Holland", ed. Jack Ayres, was published by Sutton Publishing.
Comic excerpts were dramatized by BBC Radio in 2008- 2012.
