Wonderful photo, Aspin. I have a number of framed photos of ancestors on shelves in my computer room - have bought some large frames for hanging on the walls but need my son to visit to hang them for me. Don't trust myself to do it properly. lol

It's good to be able to look at them daily....dee
Steeles, Burton, Garrod (Norfolk), Clarke, Tomblin (Rutland)
Bauer (London, France), Blades, Parker (Surrey)
Edwards, Coles, Smith, Nunley, Craddock, York, & Linnell (Northants) )
Ehmcke, Deimel, Appelkamp (Germany)

I went to see my uncle last night.  It all went quite well and we were both glad I went and we want to stay in touch.  No hidden treasures I'm afraid, a lot of his photos were duplicates of my mother's, however there were some I had never seen before. (Even some of me I hadn't seen!)  I have his album to copy those I want.  I shall post some when I have done it.  It gives me another reason to visit when I take it back.

Thanks for all the encouragement from fellow Rootschatters

So pleased for you Ellen
The photos i have belonged to my late cousin and her husband loan them to me
Like you some I had seen before at home
When I cleared my mums house most family photos were gone she must have got rid of them
I was so mad she had done this but there again she would think she was doing me a good turn for when it came to clear the house

Just as a start this is not of an ancestor but me taken in about 1955.  I had never seen this before!

THis one is of my uncle back right, my mother middle front and a cousin of theirs also in the back - my uncle didn't know who the other children were so I am waiting to ask my mother.

Say Ellen, if I gave you half a crown would you like to come over and mow our front lawn...  ;D
I am researching the following families:
Hurst / Payne - Leicestershire / Warwickshire / Worcestershire
Toon(e) - Leicestershire
Batchelor / Foster - Warwickshire / Northamptonshire
Hardy - Dorset

My web site has the family tree showing.  I am researching primarily the Payne, Hurst, Foster and Batchelor lines in the Midlands.
