M'Lord Hack, ;D

that is a truly beautiful photograph. ;D ;D

I'm so pleased for you and a slight shade of green like the others. ;D

I think my family were allergic to cameras. To say that family photographs are scarce is a huge understatement. ::)

Can't even find a cousin - they all seem to have died... :o :o

Thanks folks - I am on the trail of another couple of significant family photos. The odd thing is my wife's family. They were photo maniacs and we have some hundreds of photos going back to about 1910 or so. However, her paternal grandfather was a mystery man as were both of his wives. Her mother was adopted [back in about 1900] and that trail stops there. Many of the photos - taken in South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe are interesting, with well known people in the pictures.  ;D
So I have very well documented ancestors with very few photos and she has mystery ancestors with zillions of them!  :'(
The little girl in the photo became a cosmetics model pre-war, then a Canadian war-bride, wrote and produced a children's TV series, divorced and became an antique dealer, divorced again and devoted her life to charities, dying of cancer in Spain in about 1975.  She fitted all of that into a life span of 55 years.  :)
Southern or Southan [Hereford , Monmouthshire & Glos], Jenkins, Meredith and Morgan [Monmouthshire and Glos.], Murrill, Damary, Damry, Ray, Lawrence [all Middx. & London], Nethway from Kenn or Yatton. Also Riley and Lyons in South Africa and Riley from St. Helena.
