How write a diary entry about our ancestors

Answer:
it was early spring in 1892 and Sydney in New South Wales was bustling with activity. On Wednesday 28 September the city was full of excitement. Just like every Wednesday, Hordern’s department store threw open their doors to serve the fashionable women of Sydney. Today they were ready to wow the locals with the latest designs from London and Paris. Only two blocks away on Quay Street, Maud Drew wouldn’t have been thinking about fashion. She and husband William were ready for a very different delivery. That day, they would welcome their second child, Henry James. Another boy! Named Henry, after the paternal grandfather he would never get to meet, and James to honour his father’s brother.
For this piece, the sources include many birth and death certificates, the front page of the local paper (the Sydney Morning Herald) and Google Maps. I’ve added in observations for atmosphere but nothing that will change the story.
