Wales / Re: ASHMAN'S of YSTRADYFODWG

This photo was taken in Barry island according to the photographers stamp on the back.
My Grandfather and Grandmother left and right. I have no idea who the woman and the children are. My gut feeling that she is a Niece on my Grandfather's side of the family which would make her the daughter of George, Sarah, Mable, John, Charles or Harry.

This photo was taken outside the Grand Pavilion Porthcawl. The South Wales Miners often held annual conferences in the Pavilion, so it might be something to do with that.
My Grandfather, William John, on the left. I don't know who the others are, but the chap on the right has to be related - doesn't he? He looks older than my Grandfather and is obviously using a walking stick, but they look so much alike. Could this be George?

You say George died in 1942. The photo could have been taken about that time.

Thanks for that,

I agree with your thoughts about Agnes, I think Philip is wrong about her, but I didn't like to say so because you are both trying to be so helpful. At the moment, I think Sissy could be Mable Emily ( as I found out today ) or Sarah Ann.
It would be great for me, as well, if you could copy me in on the George Henry family tree, when you get round to doing it.
I have one or two more photo's to post.  I can be of more help, please let me know.


Kind Regards,
Colin

This photo shows Sissy, second left next to my Grandmother Millicent. I don't know who the chap on the left is with his arm around Sissy. One of the brothers perhaps with his wife on the right of the group? Taken in the late 1950's is my guess.

Here's a photo I know little about, except that Sissy, as a young woman, is standing on the left of the group. A family wedding or a friends wedding? Hard to say, but the men do look related to me. same shape face and nose.

Thanks for your help,
This is Aunty Sissy, in later life and as I remember her. I assume she was christened Sarah Ann and that Sissy was a nickname. I just wish I had asked that sort of question when they were alive.

Since my previous post, I've worked out that my Grandfather was William John, ( not John ) since he died in 1964 at the age of 71 and therefore born in 1893. John was born in March 1898. As I said he was always known as Jack hence the confusion.

John and Emily haven't made it easy their decendants have they 

The Photo is of the five brothers at least I assume it is. My Grandfather  William is seated front row on the left. judging by the uniform, the photo dates from the 1914/18 War
