There's a moral here, anita...
If you have a Webb in the Family Tree and haven't got a sense of humour...hit the ground running...
Here is a photo from the dearly beloved's side of the family.
Harry Paget...Patchett...Padgett...(oh use your imagination I give up) on the left, with one of his chums.
HIS life was hard enough for the sister in law to trace...his father's, and grandfather's.....we don't want to talk about it......groan!
-
thats a great photo Paula.
-
Paula, how I agree about the Webb family. Charles' father James is giving me even more of a problem, he's the one who has a wife called three different names in consecutive census, Leticia, Cecelia and Selina.
I love the photo, They look like two naughty boys planning some prank and finding it very funny
-
The catapain and his family. I perhaps should have sent thses phot off o photo restoration first. Great Aunt Tilley (the little girl in teh middle died aged 100 in 1986
-
And the babe in arms is on the Thriepval Memorial :'(
-
thats a great photo!! 100 wow!!
-
Saxon it is a great photo, you want to get it restored on here.
-
This is my great grandparents Frank Baker and Annie Langridge, in the garden at their house in Croydon, during the 1920s.
They have been the most problematic of my great grandparents, with doubts as to which Frank Baker, Carpenter from Nottingham, my great grandfather was, and Annie having been born illegitimate. Unhelpfully they didn't appear to marry. But they did produce 6 children who survived into adlthood and who all made good lives for themselves.
The family still has two substantial dressers made by Frank. Allegedly, he made the original door in the clock tower in Thornton Heath, Surrey.

lovely photo!!
-
Probably cloth eared enumerators, anita, putting down what they thought it was.
Go for if saxon. The restore guys would love that one.
-
Julian that is a wonderful photo, they look as if they belong in a production of The Darling Buds of May. :D
-
I've now put onto restoration. I've also got the companion picture which is Mum with the 3 children. On that you can see what fantastic look she had. I've got loads more :I've just found some others and I haven't a clue who they are. I've also just found a complete album I would reckon dated 1920's and I'm not sure which part of the family it relates to!
-
Julian that is a wonderful photo, they look as if they belong in a production of The Darling Buds of May. :D
Yes, it's very informal. Both my grandfathers were capable photographers - Frank's son worked as a photographer for a while. I guess as "domestic" cameras started getting more plentiful, there would have been an increase in the number of informal shots like these - which makes a nice contrast to the set pieces used by the High Street photographer.

Here's my dad in similar pose, about 1917/1918 - grandson of reply #7

Harry & Chum is a great photo, I wonder what they were laughing about? It would make a good entry for the Guess The Caption competition don't you think, if you could stand the embarrasing comments....
I put one of my grandmother up there and the entries were hilarious...
-
There was certainly something going on there, Tony, the mind boggles as to what it was. I'll have to get permission of t'other side of the family to play with it, but it would be fun.

Hi I'm just checking to see if my profile is still on. My mothers photo seems to have disappeared unless I have overlooked it.
-
At a rough guess, I'd say it's too big, mags...
Back to the drawing board.....
-
This is one of the photos of my gtrandmother that my elderly aunt gave me last week. My grandmother is the one standing on the left of the doorway to the shoe shop. I have her telling the story on tape of getting the job to go and work in that shop. She tells of her wages and the hours she had to work among other things.
.....dee
-
I used to get my shoes from the Reading branch of Freeman's, dee. It was a very good shop.
-
Talking of shops, here's one of William Denchfield Bartlett outside his cycle shop.
-
Oh the old bicycles, Paula - they did jolt and bump beneath you. I think there are still parts of one like those in the photo lying around in my dear old Dad's back shed. ::)

-
This is my great grandma Sarah Cawood born 1818 in Yeadon, my mothers grandma. There was fortunately printing on the back of the photographers studio and then I went to date the photo on "date a UK photo site" and everything fell into place.
-

My dad was born in 1916 and was photographed in similar attire. Questions as to why he was wearing a dress were discouraged ::)
The answer was very simple it was standard practice to clothe both young boys and young girls in a dress in those days. Certainly nothing odd about it.
Cheers

In the days long before disposable nappies and even before plastic pants, it was probably more hygienic, and certainly easier to change a nappy! :D

.....I've managed to obtain a photograph of a Great Uncle of mine in his police uniform.This was taken between 1918 and 1927 when he held the rank of Sergeant during those years in the former Flintshire Constabulary.He went on to attain the rank of Superintendent/Deputy Chief and retired in 1946,after 38 years service.

This is my treasured 4 generations photo. On the right is my great great great grandmother Grossmutter Humpsch who arrived from Germany in South Australia in 1848 with her husband Ignatz Deimel, who later disappeared in the Victorian goldfields.
The little girl next to her is my grandmother; then my great grandfather Ehmcke whom I remember quite well, and alongside of him my great great grandmother.

Dee that must be so precious to you.

A lovely photo Dee.
I never knew any of my grandparents so the few photos I have are very precious.
The older lady on the right is my gr gr grandmother Frances & the little boy, John, is her son from her second marriage. The lady in the middle is my grandmother Fanny & on the left is her sister Florence.
Gr Uncle John & his wife Aunt Lou were the nearest thing to grandparents I had. Uncle John was a very kind, gentle man.

>> Harry Christie c 1914 <<
williamsedge,
Where were your Christies from?
My husband's Christys were from Bolton, Lancashire and West Kirby, Cheshire. There's an early one from Market Drayton, Shropshire, but I haven't yet proven that he's connected.
(I'm always on the look-out for rellies!)
Regards,
Josephine

Dee , what a fabulous photo of your 4 generations. I would give lots to have such a record. We do have pics of the latest 4 generations with our parents, children and grandchildren. I only have one photo of me with the only grandparent I knew.
Ellen

Hi :)
Haven't had anything to put up here for a while but I've just found this one tucked away. I'm going to have to do it up a bit before it goes on my website. Thought that you might like to see it - especially Canadian pals :)
It's of Alfred Burgess and his wife Janet Laidlaw, must have been taken circa 1890in Arran Township, Bruce County, Ontario. They married 19 Nov 1890. Janet died in 1911 and Alfred in 1923. Alfred was born 11 June 1843, Manchester. His father William (my 3 x great uncle), emigrated circa 1855-6.

My Mum is in this picture taken on Empire Day, early 1920's, in Barby, a small village just south of Rugby. The neatest thing for me is the way the children are dressed...
-
Hi Tony,
For someone interested in costume, as I am, you are right, that is a fantastic picture of children's costume of the day.
My Mother used to talk about Empire Day Celebrations when she was at school, but that was at the beginning of the century...
-
What a lot of home knit clothes on this lovely photo
Elizabeth
-
I believe this lady is a STALLARD.
-
Hi Paula,
Well I suppose on the one hand a lot of village people didn't have the money to spend on clothes in those days, and a lot of things were home made, and on the other you couldn't just head to the local M&S to buy something off the peg.
It did make for some interesting and unique clothing.
I never thought too much about the photo until I looked for something for the caption competition the other day, and it dawned on me that the clothing was pretty cool.
-
Now that is one capable looking lady, diddy.
She also looks the kind that a grandchild could cuddle up to.

these two don`t look very happy! ;)the little girl on the right is my nan phyllis wisker,annie is her big sis on the left.

I apologise if I've put this photo up before, I put it where ever I can, because this is a picture that is very dear to me.
-
Just got these fantastic photos today and couldn't wait to share them. The first one is my great grandmother Sarah with my grandfather age about 4yrs? and the second is my grandfather age about 2yrs?
-
Now we know where you get your eyes from! Just like g grandma's :)
-
Fabulous.
-
anitamo, what gorgeous blonde curls!
-
Those are such fantastic photos. Lucky you! I bet you've got a big grin :D
Gadget
-
Honestly I have had a silly grin on my face all day ;D
-
Oh they are georgeous Anitamo, I agree with Saxon, what a family likeness I can just picture how blue their eyes must have been.
I wonder if he was such an angel off camera :D
-
Jc I have to say I didn't recognise the likeness but I do now it has been pointed out. My grandad had the most piercing blue eyes even as an old man. I wish I had inherited the colour. Mine are blue but not as startling as his.
-
What lovely photos Anitamo. Such wonderful quality too!
Ellen
-
Paula - a beautiful photo - I can see why you cherish it.
Anitamo - what can one say - a completely adorable darling boy !
Thank you for sharing.........
P.S. What was he named ?
-
Great photos anitamo!!
-
Great photos Paula and Anitamo. Love the curls and the big eyes.
Jc. I too wanted blue eyes like my Grandad-used to say my prayers asking for them every night. Still brown next morning. When I said God doesn't answer prayes I was asked "Isn't NO an answer?
-
Thanks Emmeline myg.g.grandmother was called Sarah Carroll and I was supposedly named after that side of the family, my second name is carol, dad spelled it wron gly when he registered me. My Grandfather was called Frederick Stansfield Wright, Stansfield being another family name which was given to my older brother, Ian Stansfield.
-
Thank you anitamo. I like to know all the details !
We used one of my husband's family surnames when our third daughter arrived and gave her the second name of Kirk. There did not seem to be any boys in the offing and we thought it would be nice for it to be used again. Must say she has always been quite happy about it.
Look forward to more of your photos........
-
This is my grandmother's sister Eliza Gertrude, known as Gertie, with her husband Cecil Clarke outside their shop in Raunds, Northamptonshire. I'd love to know why it was decorated - could it have been for Queen Elizabeth's Coronation? I know Cecil died in 1958, and he was born in 1893, and in the photo I think he looks as though he was around sixty.
Would love some other opinions.
......dee
-
I would say it looks like the 1953 coronation of the Queen.
My mother still has some commemorative ribbon! My parents took me into Manchester to see it decorated. I was only 2 and when it was the Silver Jubilee in 1977 my mother was surprised I couldn't remember going!!
Ellen
-
Possibly is the 1953 Coronation. I have two Coronation mugs from then. One was from school and the other one, I can't remember where it came from. There were masses of celebration parties and every house and shop was decorated.
My only query is the length of Gertie's skirt. I'm sure the hemlines were getting higher by then ???
Lovely photo - memories :)
Gadget
-
Skirt lengths could be still pretty low, Hartnell's New Look, which I wallowed in, Gadget.
BUT
Blow the picture up.
On the right all the ribbons lead to a shield with a head on it...
It looks like George V to me...which would place it between 1910 and 1936...
(Correction, it was Christian Dior's New Look. Ho hum, the woman's loosing it :) )
-
Could be his Jubilee in ? 1935 or George IV in 1937.
The skirt is not really New Look as I recall it - the skirts had more width.
Gadget
-
Those lovely full ones, oh yes, I used to wear those to disguise just how wide I was in the beam, but there were narrow ones as well.
1935 or 1937...
I think if you really squint at that shield it looks as though the person has a beard...perhaps...maybe.
I'd plump for 1935...
But where does that leave dee?
-
Not sure Paula :( I don't think she'll be too happy today after them losing and all. It would make him 42 - which is possible. i thought he looked a young 60. People just looked older in those days ;)
I didn't ewear the new look, I wore ankle socks and then do you remember the starched peticoats ;D ;D ;D
Gadget
-
Do I just! And bright day glow blue/red/green socks.
Wow!
-
My paternal grandfather and his brothers and sisters. Nothing on the back of the photo to say who's who :'( :'(
-
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
That's something special, even if you don't know who is who :)
Gadget
-
I think 1935 could be right I left school in 1953
and I'm sure my mams skirts were shorter
then came the taffeta skirts and the puffy out petticoats
along with the Teddyboys
should have some photos somewhere
Elizabeth
-
1953 or 1935 - or sometime other than that! Hmmmm- well, I must say that if Gertie was at all like her sister, my grandmother Kitty, - fashion would not have been considered in the least. Watching your pennies was far more important than having new clothes.
I can see I shall have to have a go at blowing the image up too to see what I think.
And yes, Gadget - I guess I was judging Cecil's looks on today's people, so that is a consideration.
Thanks everyone for giving me more to think about.
.....dee :D :D :D
-
Then there is the advert for Zobo in the window.....
Google it and see what turns up...
-
Zebo was a polish for 'blackleading' your range or fireplace. As it's a b & w photo which has been tinted, I would go for George V or VI. People always looked older in those days.
-
Now, now :o :o :o
I still have a tube of Zebo. It's marvellous for my woodburning stove - when it gets marked not a daily job, mind ;D ;D ;D

lol paula. she looks like she could kill from 50 yards and her hands, you wouldnt want them hitting you they are massive
-
Oh, come on, perth, she would probably smile while she was doing it ;D
-
Perth, what a stern Lady. She wouldn't need to touch you, one look would be enough to put you in fear for your life. But it's still a great photo.
-
This must be one of the oldest photos posted I think she looks as if she wants to LOL ;D ;D ;D
Maybe shes afraid of the man taking the photo

Thanks for that Kris. it's lovely. The one on the far left and the third from left are sisters. What's everyone'd views on if any of the others are related. (The one between them isn't )

saxon, one on the right at the back definitly looks like a sister.

susan with her daughters annie beatrice,edith,elsie and ethel.

and ethel when she was a bit older, she wed john mercer in 1915 but he got killed 1 week before the end of ww1 she then wed david haywood who by all accounts wasnt very nice, but i think he cant have been that bad. they both died within the same month
-
So that's what a Webb looks like, perth.
Ethel is nice, isn't she.
-
she is paula, from all accounts she was a very nice woman. i will try and find the pic of one of her sons, he looks like a young clarke gable, unfortunately he died very young.
-
Great photos Perth. Didn't realise you were caught up in the Webbs too!
-
i have been saxon they are inlaws not on my side of the family. i wont be involved with them too much longer lol then i will leave it up to the rest of you to look through them all

Found them Perth what great photo's. By the way I have a Web married to a Woodcock from Staffordshire. Is there a club for the Webbs?
-
What a lovely looking man, sheron. So sad that he should end like that.
Not another one, grumpyblondie :o
Gives a new meaning to the World Wide Webb! :D
-
did you see the one of Roma Tuzzio,Paula? they were a good looking lot!
-
I certainly did, sheron. I was saying to son and heir what narrow ankles she had.....keeping mine well under the hem of me skirts.
-
;D ;D actually i used to have good legs, must be from them 8)
-
I should say so, sheron.
Actually, I have just been comparing some of the pictures on here.
One thing struck me, was the picture perth put on, with Susan Parish and the children. The face of the little one standing is so much like me in the photo for my profile.
Am I reading too much into it?
Those looks have been passed down the family, Gran to Mum, Mum to me...Now Gran was very like that mystery sailor I had restored when I first started on here...supposed Uncle Harry who we could never find. I'm wondering if there is a Webb likeness, the same as there is with (don't tell diddy) the Bartlett nose and ears....
-
;D paula!!lol
-
I think you're right. looking a t the Blundell Girls my late sister looks just like grandma, my sis looks like one of the others and so do I. Features such as chins and eyes and noses pass down the generations. I think it's one of the Richard Dawkins books which indicates that the human race has a very small genetic range in total but almost all of the genetic differences relate to looks and looks alone.
-
Perth Tiger which is you is it the one sat on the ladies knee?
-
lol grumpy do you mean in that old pic ? i hope not it was taken in 1896 and they are all girls lol
-
I was just being funny Perth I knew you were not that old. Have looked at your photo not bad.

This is my Mum age 18years taken about 1926

Doesn't she look a lovely young lady, GrumpyB.
It's nice to see her on here.

Found a few more pics yesterday at m-i-law's. This is of Bob's father taken in West Africa in the late 20s/early 30s. He is the left hand standard bearer, holding the Union flag.
There appears to be a double exposure on the right hand side of the photo but we can't quite make out what it could be.

This is a photo of My g grandfathers and his partners firm which was a Mineral Water Manufacturers called Gibson and Hepworth at Normanton West Yorkshire. I am not sure of the year.

This is my great grandmother Kezia with my grandmother Gladys Maud taken around 1916. I always think Kezia looks like Eliza Doolittle before she was made a lady in this one :) Apparently she was a keen member of the Cardiff temperance society and my father has early memories of being very scared of her as a young boy.

There's some interesting information on this site:
http://www.vam.ac.uk/moc/collections/costume/boys/boys_trousers/index.html
-
Very interesting site. If you think about it, the move to putting boys in trousers (and romper suits when they were babies) coincided with the invention of rubber waterproof pants.
I've got some old photos of my uncle wearing 'frocks' as boys' dresses were commonly called. Of course, they didn't think it out of the ordinary, and it certainly had nothing to do with hand-me-downs; after all, what if the older children were boys as well! Somewhere I read a quote from a letter written by a young Victorian woman who was horrified to find her new husband wore nightshirts and set to work to sew him some 'respectable nightgowns'
It's only because the use of these names has changed that they mean something else to us.
BTW, my son-in-law's Hindu family don't cut a little boy's hair until just after his 1st or 2nd birthday and then it involves a big ceremony in which his whole head is shorn. The hair must not fall to the floor and has to be kept (for reasons I never got to the bottom of). It marks a transition from the weakness and dependency of babyhood to the start of boyhood.

Amazing - what a treasure alf. I only have the one photo of me with the only grandmother I knew. I was only 5 months old at the time!

Great Aunt Louie who got a gong while serving in the Queen Alexandra's Imperial Nursing Service at Ypres in the Great War
-
A lady you have every reason to be proud of, alftabor.
She is lovely, too, but the look in her eyes seems to say that she has seen things she wished she had not seen.
What a terrible time it must have been for her.
-
This very sad picture is of my maternal grandmother's youngest sister, Hilda Grace Meyers. She died not long after this was taken - apparently she had a fall in the playground and never recovered. At some point I must get round to purchasing her death certificate to see eactly what happened.
She was the apple of her father's eye and he himself died just a couple of months later.

Stoney, that is so sad, She looks a poorly little girl in the photo. How old was she do you know?
-
I've just been sent some great photos of my grandparents and I just want to share some of them. The family group that looks so middle class is my gran and grandad with my mum and big brother. It must have been taken around 1928. Grandad was a steel moulder in the Sheffield steel works

great photo anita!!

Nice to have the family group.
Bet you're pleased with that one.

Anitamo - Hilda Grace Meyers (the girl pictured in the wheelchair) was 11 years old when she died. I've found the gefistration so I'll try and order the death certificate to see if that sheds any light on what happened to her. Very sad story.

....ops! I mean "registration"! ::)

Thought you might like to see this one, it must have been taken around the same time as the family portrait and by the smile on everyones faces they must have been having fun. The lady on the left is my gran and it's strange to see her laughing like that, I remember her as being quite a bit straight faced most of the time. The young girl is my mum about nine years old and the lady next to my gran is my great aunt ( gran's sister in law) her husband died in WW1, four years after they were married . I don't yet know who the third lady is.
-
Nice photos Anitia, Bet you are so pleased to have them.
-
Puzzle time does anyone think either of these ladies is in the picture on 136
-
Not very good at this saxon, but the lady on the left does have the same tilt of the head as the Blundells.
-
Loved the beach girls enjoying themselves, Anita, and the way great aunt has tucked her dress into elastic of long bloomers. I can almost remember doing that.... :-\
Here is my grandmother, Margaret Ann White, around the time of her marriage in 1908. Note the hairdo, same as in wedding photo which follows.

This was a treasure found after grandmother (second from right) died, along with a list of full names and birthdates of the eleven siblings. They are standing in age order from oldest on right, and the occasion was probably the last time they were all gathered together, when their father died in 1923.
It obviously helped that one of the sisters had married a photographer! ;D

-
This is my G-Grandmother, Mary Jane (Routledge) Meyers with some of her children. Does the boy standing beside her look as though he "fits" in?
Although the 1901 census proclaims him as David Meyers, the name on his will was David Miller Routledge (and closer inspection of census returns reveals his age to be pre-marriage of his parents!) That aside, he was different in features to the rest of the brood....and I've no idea where the "Miller" name came from! What was G-granny up to!
Never mind, he was a lovely "gentle" man by all accounts, with a wicked sense of humour!
-
After all the bedpost notching adventures of my Eliza Ann, I'm used to that sort of thing, stoney.
He looks terribly like Mary Jane, doesn't he...Have you ever found a David Miller around at the right time?

No, no sign of the father, but I do know young David was living with Mary Jane's Aunt and Uncle at the time of the 1881 census (born 1880) and she had married my G-Granfather by the end of 1881.
I'm tempted to get David's birth certificate to try and solve the mystery!

It kind of, gets to you, doesn't it, stoney. Go on, you know you'll give in, in the end. :)
There's a family likeness passed down there, Tom. How lovely to have all the pictures like that.
-
Dinkydidy those are superb photos and, as you say, that hairstyle is something else, I wonder how long it took her to sculpt that every morning.
Stoney, I agree with Paula that sweet looking little boy does look like Mary Jane.
And believe me my family's bedhopping antics are almost lengendary. I have to say the more I delve the more I find morals then are not what they are these days. ;D ;D

Here's a link to my G-Grandad Francis Roby, who died in 1923 from 'causes attributable to his service' :'(
http://21st-battalion-8.tripod.com/o-s.html
He's just over halfway down the page, and I am particularly proud to have him on the site since he was buried in a communal plot without mention on any memorial. None of my family knew much about him either. Also, here's his grave, which we recently tracked down-

On the left of the picture with pipes under his arm.
My Wife's great granduncle John 'Jock' McLellan.b 1875 Dunoon, Argyll,Scotland
John joined the Highland Light Infantry and served in the South African War He was awarded the DCM when the Regiment saw action at the Battle of Maggersfontein.
In WW1 he joined the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, he attained the rank of Pipe Major.
He wrote several pipe tunes and it is said he composed the Air wich became 'The Road To The Isles'
The date and location of the picture is unknown
-
The first photograph is of my gran and her siblings. She is the one at the back on the right. The next one is the same gran age about 40 I think.
Liz
-
This is my dad (on the right) and his twin sister age about 12 months I guess.
-
Lovely group of Gran and her siblings, Liz.
My goodness, doesn't the little chap on the right look 'master of all he surveys.' Bet he was 'trying to be like dad' in front of the camera.
-
The first of these is my mum and her dad.
The second is me age about 6-9 months. I don't know if I look like my mum, or my dad (the one in the picture of the twins). When I got older I looked much more like dad and he changed and got darker like his sister.
Liz
oops didn't load, I'll try again
-
Dad's eyes, Mum's cheekbones, I would say, Liz.
-
Great pictures here - and stories too. Fascinated by Tom's family's bagpipe-playing ancestor :)
Here's a side by side job. This is my great grandmother, Elizabeth Danns Luetchford nee Rose, and her children - on the left taken around 1905 a few years after her husband had died, and again in 1940 on the occasion of her 90th birthday. Some of her children had aged well, and others not so! My own grandmother is sitting in the centre on the left-hand picture, and sitting on the right on the right -hand one.

Yes definitely my dad's eyes, dark and deep set now, although when I was younger a boyfriend, who was a farmer, said I had cow's eyes. It was a compliment.
Liz
-
....you don't see many of these around today!
These are hubby's maternal grandparents - they were in ENSA in WW2, and also ran a music school in N.London.
(and their G-Grandson is carrying on the tradition, as a Rock musician ....!)

I have my late brothers accordion it is all mother of pearl am I right in saying it is a Horner make ,I used to have a little play on it but it is so heavy for me to hold now
Oh happy days

This is a caricature of my 2nd cousin who's funeral was yesterday.
The church was totally jammed with people standing .
He was well thought of
Rest in Peace Fred
-
He looks quite a character!
Liz
-
Yes he was a farmer of repute and very handy with a gun too
-
I knew a gamekeeper who was handy with a gun, when I was in the Highlands, Dyingout...but that's another story, and not for Ancestors. If I remember I'll put it in the Tearoom.
Was trawling through old memories Ancestor threads and found an unanswered question.
My Quest for the Caponhursts of Bucks.
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,211814.90.html
At the time I had Alic. Allice...Alice Caponhurst safely married to John Grace but only the IGI's word as to where she came from.
I now have her father's will....well, I guess it's his will, because he leaves a heck of a lot to his 'son in law John Grace.'
So that has legitimised Richard Caponhurst as father of Alic. IGI had it right.
But not only that...I have also the will of Rycharde Caponhurst...Richard's dad, which was drawn up in 1558.
I really don't expect to get any further than that!....but there are all those Capenhursts on the Wirral.... :'(
What ever, a picture of the church at Granborough where my Caponhursts were to brighten up the message.
-
Not such a happy post.
Sent to the Mother in Law when the lovely man who should have been my Father in Law was lost during WW2
-
I hope it gave her a little bit of comfort
-
Me too, grumpyblondie. By all that I have been told she took loosing him badly, but perhaps it was something to hold onto later.
-
Went ot m-i-l's yesterday and brought back a batch of photos to scan. This one is rather lovely. It is m-i-l at about a year old (1915) with her mother. She had just had her hand smacked for touching the flowers - hence the pout!
Ellen
-
That is adorable, Ellen.
How lovely to hear about the pout. Don't forget to keep that little snippet of information with the picture, it adds so much to it.
-
That is just lovely Ellen. I notice mother is holding that little hand firmly - away from the flowers.
Tell m/in/law she was a beautiful baby........
-
Thanks Paula and Emmeline
Bob's gran looked beautiful in the photos. I have one of her when older currently on the photo restoration board. She was still beautiful then. M-i-l
was lovely (very like her mother) when young and at 92 still has lovely skin!
Ellen
-
Ellen - I found her on the Photo Restoration board. Lovely to behold.........
-
Yes she was lovely - Unfortunately Bob never knew her although he was 14 when she died! I have just realised with some concern that in that photo she was about my current age!!
She had a hard life - married in India at 17 and had 10 children of which m-i-l was the youngest. Bad marriage and they finally separated. Several children died in infancy, one in the flu epidemic in 1919. She looks happy enough though doesn't she?
I do love all the old photos and will put a few more on later. Mum's sisters who are in others were lovely too.
Ellen
-
What a lovely picture and what a life -10 children gosh
-
Thanks Ellen for some details of her life.
Are there any photos of her wedding in India ? Look forward to seeing any others you have......... and more stories.
-
Following the photo of My dear little Mum than has been so beautifully restored by you clever Roots people, here is a photo of Jessie May a few years later with one of her several nephews. A careful look and you can see she is wearing her engagement ring.
-
An' here is a photo of the bloke, my Dad Joe, who put that ring on her finger, sharing a joke with her mother, Harriet Mathias.

Hi
Emmeline - I don't think there are any photos of the wedding in India. I have never seen one at all of Bob's grandfather. This is his aunt Thea, who was widowed and then married a Dutchman and was never heard of after going to Holland in WW2, as mentioned elsewhere on RC
Ellen
-
I've started looking at hubby's side of the family and have re-discovered old photos of his maternal g-grandmother, who was born and lived in India. She's the middle one in the picture - Amy Osborne. She always looks winsome and a little sad, to me.
She married and Army Sergeant (Robert Harry Brown) and they had six children, before Amy died of a brain-tumour in 1917 and Robert died in the influenza epidemic of 1919, leaving their children to be raised by the maternal grandparents. Eventually the children were split up around the family (and around the globe!) and although they kept in touch by letter some of them never saw each other again. :'(
-
What a sad story, stoney, and it is enhanced by the wistful nature of the picture. Pictures may be worth a thousand words, but sometimes you need both to get the "full picture".
-
Dinkdidy - this picture says it all - I think! She looks totally exhausted!
-
I've been looking at all these lovely photos and thought I'd add my favourite picture. This is my Great Grandfather (sitting in the back) and two of his older brothers when they were on holiday in the Isle of Wight.
I love this piccie. He looks so bemused sitting in the back and his brother is concentrating so hard on the "driving"
;D
-
Very upmarket family milly! Mine were working as ag.labs, trawlermen and railway workers at that time.

These guys were mechanical engineer and tin-plate workers - and the women of the family worked in the cotton mills. It surprised (but pleased) me to find out they had been able to afford to go off to the Isle of Wight on their holidays. Their older brother was with the Navy in Portsmouth so I presume they went down to visit him.
....... but I'll let you into a little secret.... ;) ...I think that cars a fake!

Here's one we call our "Forsyte Saga" pose!

Here is my Grandma Dorothy's first marriage to Charles Fry in 1935. He died in World War 2 and Dorothy remarried to my Grandad. The lady in the bottom right is my G-G-Grandmother Eliza, and stood behind her is my G-G-Grandfather George. I found this recently on a distant relative's website; I couldn't believe I could see relatives so many generations back! The adult bridesmaid on the right is my great-aunt Peg and she's coming to my wedding this July ;D
-
Here's my Mum and Dad on their wedding day - 27/04/1942. He had a 48 hr pass and was posted overseas shortly afterwards for the remainder of WW2.
They planned some code-words before he went so when he managed to write home he could let the family know where he was without the censors knowing! (eg. "how's Auntie Nellie's leg? = Italy, etc.)
-
Found this picture at my mother's. We don't know where it came from but it is of her mother and sister. She has no idea who the boy is but thinks that it may be a cousin as it isn't her brother.

Hi to Paula Too, Emmeline, and Elliebob,

Thanks everyone for your family photos.
Hello Ellen :) Two great photos. Can just imagine Grandma walking along with those two flowers on her hat bobbing along with her.
Regards.......

This is one of the oldest pictures I have. They are William and Mary (Pemberton) Routledge, my G-G-Grandparents, taken c.mid-1860's. He was a Corporal in the Royal Artillery.
-
A wonderful photo to treasure stoney. How I wish I had one going back that far. One question - do you know if the little child on father's lap is a boy or a girl ???
Thanks for showing.....

I believe the little girl is my G-Grandmother, Mary Jane Routledge (later Meyers), but we're not sure about the other child - there were 5 boys and 4 girls! He does look like a boy, though, and it was the custom to dress boys in dresses at that time, certainly for something as formal as a portrait.
And because William was in the army the children were born all over the place: Gosport, Hants.; Pembroke Dock, Wales; Ireland; Bermuda; and Carlisle, Cumberland!
-
It certainly looks like a boy's 'frock'
-
Thanks stoney for your reply.
I love everyones family history as well as my own :)
My Gt.Grandparents first child was born in Rouen, France and the numerous others all over England. Nothing as exotic as Bermuda though.
Yes rancegal - I think it looks more like a ' boys' frock - not frilly enough for a little girl......
-
Stoney - my husband's g- grandfather was in the Royal Artillary at about the same time, he fought in the Zulu wars. I wonder if they knew each other?
Ellen
-

Ellen
Possible, I suppose! I've not tried to find out about William's military career yet - just know about him being in Bermuda as his third child, Amelia, was born there, which means his wife and probably the two elder children were there too!
In the Baptisms recorded for St George, Bermuda, 1861, he's listed as a Corporal - I wouldn't have thought the army would have allowed him to take his family with him (think of the expense!) and his rank would surely not have been that high up to make a difference!
I've no idea if he took part in the Zulu wars - none of the children appear to have been born in that part of the world and there.
Remind me, when did those conflicts take place? Most of William's children arrived at two-year intervals except the gap between William jnr. b.c.1857 (Ireland) and the next child, Amelia, b.1861, Bemuda. So if the Zulu wars occurred then it could explain the "gap" in the children, if the wife was left at home.
Alternatively, there may have been infant mortalities I haven't discovered - I'm working mainly from the 1871 census onwards, as the family would have been out of Britain in 1861 and William and Mary don't appear to have married by 1851!
-
Hi folks
I haven't been on for some time and i am so pleased that this thread continues to go from strength to strength. Thanks to everyone for the wonderful photos.

Hello Perth Tiger
What a wonderful photo. You are very lucky to have it.
Give congratulations to Gt Uncle John on Thursday - I wonder if he has told you some of his family stories?
Perhaps you have more photos you can show us - hope so..........
-
Great to see this thread revived. Here is another we found in m-i-law's photos when she moved. It is of my f-i-law (second from left) his 2 brothers Sam and Jim and a cousin W. Long on the far left.
Our next job is to find out how exactly the Long family are related.
Keep the photos coming. I look forward to seeing lots when we are back from holiday. Tomorrow, we are off to Cork for a week - I can't wait.

Just thought i would share this photo of my ggg...grandmother Eliza Ward who lived in St Helena. She arrived on the island in 1842 with her husband William who was in the Old Saints Regiment. After he retired he was chief signalman for the island. The photo was taken in the late 1860's.

I would like to start the ball rolling again a school photo from 1910 (not quite 100 yrs old!), my Grandmother is second row, third child from the right. Her name is Lynn Barker(Willliams then). The school is Trewirgie School in Redruth, Cornwall. (PaulaToo if you happen to read this - where did your Emily Barker originate from pls?)

Hi Su,
Emily Baker, born Emily Price, 1840, North Marston, Bucks.
Married Denchfield Baker, North Marston, 1862
Died at home of daughter, Granborough, Bucks 1931.
Any relation?
-
Sorry PaulaToo was relating to Reply 98 which said Emily Barker my error!
She just happened to be a seamstress, saw sewing machine etc.
Ah well - But they were wonderful photographs to look at though.
Hope this board gets going again, it is so thought provoking and important as regards costume etc.
Thanks Su

Don't be sorry, Su, it was my error, I had not noticed that I had put Barker... it should have read Baker.

I am at he moment searching the Gregson family ,for those who would like to look ( and if thats ok by rootschat )

I'll try and do the right one.....
