I hadn't heard about bashful and her dad, so I just had to go have a look - what an incredible story!

Bash, your Dad and you must be just so thrilled to have photos after all this time. What gorgeous children the twin boys were as toddlers.      

And Fudge looks like a cuddle was just a very favourite thing!

Have the most wonderful Christmas! .....dee

Just got some more pics from my uncle and my parents

First one is my g-grandmother Eliza Barker with her eldest daughter, my grandmother Maggie

Next my g-grandparents Faulkner with their children.  My g'mother is rear left, also called Ellen.

What a fine looking family! I always wonder about the difficulty of keeping those hats on their heads, Ellie. Must have used a lot of hatpins I think.......dee

Hi Ellibob - Just popped in today for a look. What a fine looking Faulkner father and the dear little girls so sweet.
It's a lovely treasure to have........ and to know the name Ellen has been passed down the line.

Nice to see the little doggie in the group.  Isn't he sweet. Having him there adds something to the photo, I think.

I think that Grannie had a flying saucer on her head!  My elder daughter looked at it yesterday and even she could see the resemblance between Ellen and herself.

Yes Emmeline, it's nice to keep family names going - our younger daughter has Ellen as her middle name and my father is named Clem for his uncle who is standing on the right of the back row.  My father will be 90 on Saturday!

This pic is of my g-grandmother Bennett, sitting on the left.  We have no idea who the other people are.

I'm not sure if I have any more photos but hopefully this thread will keep going with some more.  I love seeing them all.
