Could you please give a date for this photo of my great grandparents and also Susan with some family members
Thanks in anticipation

Suggest 1920s for the second, the first we need to see all of it uncropped and also the back please.

Thanks China
I will try to get the first photo rescanned but it is one of those treasures held by a relative in Australia.
I am told the woman on both is the same person but I am not so sure as the couple both died around 1930 and she looks quite an age in the first photo.
Regards
Len

Don't think it's the same woman in both pics - the first one would have to have been taken at least 20 or 30 years after the second for that to be the case, and it is definitely not a 1940s or 50s photo. Exactly when it was taken is very difficult to tell based on what we can see, but I'm sure it's either a similar or earlier date than the second. A re-scan of the whole thing, as China suggests, would be really helpful.
Cheers

Hi Pru
Thanks for your valuable input. I have asked for a new scan and await a response from my new found cousins in Brisbane

I was thrilled to see your photograph of George and Susan Vincent as they are my great great grandparents. As a child I was given a tiny photocopy of the same photo. The quality of my copy is dreadful, but it's definitely the same photo. At the same time, I was also given a photocopy of a photo of George on his own, which looks as if it was taken on the same day, and a photocopy of a photo of their daughter-in-law (my great grandmother). If all three pictures were taken at the same time, we can date the photo as being after 1915, as that is when my great grandmother married into the family. I believe George died in 1929.
I've never seen your second picture, and the family don't look familiar to me. I'd love to know who they are.
Thank you for giving me the chance to see a 'proper' version of the George and Susan photo.

Hi Holkin
Wow you are from the same tree. My grandfather was the eldest son of George & Susan.
if we communicate a couple more times you will be able to send me a PM and exchange email addresses

Hi Len,
My great grandfather was George and Susan's son James. I'll write a couple more postings then send you a PM. I think I've traced the Vincent family back three more generations, but I'm not 100% confident with my research, so it would be good to get your opinion. I think I've got Susan's parents and siblings, but I'm no further on from there. I'll be very happy to share what I know with you.
Best wishes

Hi Holkin
Thanks for your reply James was the fourth child of 12. Only 1 more post to go

Hi Len,
Yes, he was, so it looks like I've got that generation!
I'll try and send you a PM, with a bit more detail about what I've got. The further back I go, the less certain I am.

Hello from another descendant of George and Susan :) Thanks Len for sending me to this thread.
George and Susan are my Great x 2 Grandparents via their Daughter Rachel Rose
I've gone back quite far on the Robin's side but have had no luck on the Vincent side.
I look forward to hearing more from our new found Cousin :)

Hi Lisa,
I'll tidy up my Vincent notes and send them on to Len, I'd be happy for him to pass them on to you. I'd love to hear about your Robbins findings, I've gone no further than Susan's parents.
It's great to find Vincent relatives, and so lovely to see the photos.

Are you on Ancestry? if so, i can link you to my tree :)
-
I've used ancestry to look up records, but I don't have a tree on it. Is your tree public?
-
Hi, my tree is private.
If you want to pm me your email address, i can send you an invite to view it :)
-
Thanks Lisa, that would be great. I'm going to sort out my Vincent notes later, so I'll send them on soon.

Hi all, I am also from the same family tree my grandfather was Samuel the 10th child of George and Susan Vincent. I have a theory that as the photos were taken around the same time the second one is actually Susan Rathbone nee Vincent with some of her children. The photo came originally to me through a great grandaughter of Susan Rathbone so this could be quite possible.
