This picture has been dated as c. 1930, but I wonder if it could be earlier. The couple were 60 in 1921.

My grand-daughter took Latin for 2 or 3 years at the grammar school she has just left. She gave up the Latin but continued with Classical studies to A-level. Results still to come.

That is fascinating - I suppose the aristocracy might have needed to use those terms. Or maybe professional record-keepers?
Molly - I have the Collins Gem German dictionary on my shelves, reprint 1963. (O-level year!)

So did mine! Mother and her siblings, born between 1912 and 1921, made 87,95,45,93 and 95. The one who died in middle age had a lot of health issues, smoked quite heavily and I suspect may have been autistic.

I have no doubt that the towns were squalid and disease-ridden, but something in the countryside made people move there. I believe life in rural areas got worse in the early to mid 1800s than it was earlier. My ancestors were almost entirely rural.

I may have a bit of a thing about privacy, but I would be very put out to find myself on a public tree. I have a feeling I probably am out there somewhere, dating back to more innocent times before the days of so much internet sharing.

Thank you for the reply - lots to think about. I know that when he travelled as an 8 year old, he was going to relatives. I expect it was boarding school after that - poor child.
