I just spent a week in England and was able to take digital pictures of old family member pictures. The originals are still with DH's uncle, but I was pleased he allowed me to photograph them.
I have photos of a Matthew Henderson married to a Margaret Coulson and I have photos of a Charlie Henderson and a Hattie? Henderson. The back of the photos say cousins in my DH's grandmother's writing. Dora's mother is Sarah Annie Coulson who married James Pringle in 1891.
I have some Rodgers photos as well as James Pringle had a daughter Agnes, that married a William Rodgers in 1882. Probably in Scotland..near Edinburgh.
The names are familiar to me, but I don't have them in my database. I thought I had. The Coulsons lived in the Northumberland area, which I was privledged to drive through last week. Dora Pringle was born in Gateshead and Whitley Bay and surrounding areas were family vacation spots.
I will happily share the photographs I took if you are part of these lines or can better identify names for me.

The pictures I have are dated about 1914. I am thinking the other picture that lists Charlie as a cousin is her brother. I don't know where the Hendersons lived.
My geography of Northumberland isn't the greatest so I don't think I drove through Amble. We were on the North Sea coast most of the time.

Amble is a Small fishing village on the Northumberland coast.So you were maybe here .We have a pier and a promenade also fish and chip shops at the harbour .you can see Warkworth Castle from the harbour it is a popular area for visitors
