Hello,

Im trying to date and find out details of the attached picture for my dad.

We think its WW1. Is anyone able to help us confirm?

If anyone can tell.me anything about the image that would be great. Years ago I think I figured out which relative the image connected to. However, I cannot seem to find any of my notes!


Thank you in advance.

Hi Brad,

I was in contact years ago with Lynn C (my Nan knew knew her June Packard, nee Cruickshank) and I have some letters she wrote to me about the family tree(I was about 15-18 years old) and though still actively search a few times a year now, didn’t fully appreciate all the research I received back then! So any help would be great. quote author=Brad K link=topic=177093.msg6430580#msg6430580 date=1518343956]
Laura. I stumbled across this admittedly very old post whilst rummaging around. If we have been in touch before my apologies, but I am Jacob King's great nephew and have a couple of very bad scans of him outside his pub which came from another relative researching the family. Are you in touch with Lynn C a direct descendant who is researching her side of the family?? I have been researching the Kings for many years and can let you see the  family tree on Ancestry if you haven't seen it already. I am seeing my aunt soon (aged 95) who thinks she has an original portrait of him.

Hi All,

I am hoping someone can help me find out a bit more about the following person: Elizabeth Wilkerson.

b. 9.12.1911 location unknown
m. June 1934 to James William Packard in London
(James Packard married less than a year after his 1st wife died)
was living in Crawley, Winchester during the late 1940's-1950's.
Ran the Fox and Hounds pub in Crawley with above mentioned husband
d. august 1989 in Winchester.

She was known as Betty Packard.

Can any one lend a hand? Or rather need another perspective as brain fried from looking!

Best Wishes for the New Year

Hello Everyone,

I am a teacher at a College in Kent (K College). As part of remembering WW1 100 centenary, departments have been asked to put on events / exhibitions for the students and public which will be on display in our reception at the college and also on display during an Art & Media show the students will be presenting.

As a media/photography department we are making a display of montages which will represent different themes of the war e.g., trenchwarfare, homelife, soldiers portraits, the King's posters etc.

What i am asking is if anyone would be willing to scan and email any of their relative photographs or letters which may have been sent home, photographs of any memorabilia that you may have and would be happy for students to use the images to create photographic montages.

If you are happy to contribute please PM me on here and i will send my work address over.
