Lincolnshire / Heckington photo mystery
« on: Thursday 27 March 25 10:21 GMT (UK) »
Hello, I have a photo featuring my grandmother (Alice Maud Porter) with 5 other ladies, all seated and holding babies. They are all formally dressed, with impressive hats and their clothes look Edwardian, meaning my grandmother is holding either my uncle Lionel (b.1902) or my aunt Iris (b.1906). However the strange part is there is a man in the centre holding a doll and he is 'blacked up', as Morris Dancers sometimes are and holding a black baby doll, so any idea what was going on?

Hi AngelFish, Thanks, but I'm not on Facebook, so can't add the photo. I'll see if I can find a friend who can help.

Lincolnshire / Heckington Church Choir 1912

Hello, I have a photo of the Heckington Church Choir dated August 1912 and although it probably contains someone from my family, I can't identify anyone 100%, so if you have any interest in it please let me know, as I'm happy to find it a good home or I can send a copy via email.

Thanks to you all for your help and I thought I'd tried various combinations of the children, with birth dates, surname variations etc, so not sure why I missed it.

Thanks for the prompt reply and looks the most likely explanation

London and Middlesex / Pirie family on 1861 census
« on: Tuesday 03 September 24 20:43 BST (UK) »
Hello, I am struggling to find the Pirie family in the 1861 census. James Pirie (b. 1828 - d. 1883) a cooper, married Eleanor Hughes (b. 1830 - d. 1899) on 23rd June 1849 and by the 1861 census they had 5 living children -Eleanor b. 1850, James b. 1852, Matilda b. 1855, Eliza b. 1856 and Alice b. 1861. I have them on the 1851 census at Ropemakers Fields in Limehouse and in 1871 at 8 Barchester Street, Tower Hamlets, but despite searching I can't find them on the 1861 census. On the 1858 London Electoral Register they are at Bromley Street, Tower Hamlets, suggesting that the family were in London in 1861. Can someone find them in 1961?

Thanks for the swift replies and I should have checked newspapers myself, as I've now looked and Webbe Athletic get loads of mentions in the London papers!
