Well done Mags - posting the photo must give you a great deal of satisfaction after your struggles with it.

What a delightful photo to have among your treasures. Photos like that make our rellies seem so much more like "real" people........dee

Love the really cute picture Mags

Just remembered that I had this one of my grandfather Edward Court 1884 - 1926.  He died when my father was only 9.  This must have been taken when he was quite a young footballer!  My father was his younger son and recently celebrated his 90th birthday.

After serving with the Canadian Expeditionary Force in WW1 he was a brewer's drayman and drove one of the first steam powered drays of Flowers Brewery in Stratford on Avon.

Oh Magrat, she looks grim, bless her, but I'll bet she had seen hard times.
I had a gt.grandma Baker too. I posted a picture of her on Restoration months ago. Stunned by the results. She has one of those 'flying saucer' hats with piles of flowers on it.

I am surprised too, dee, to see this is still in the Totally off Topic Bit.
These pictures carry a wealth of information for us, especially for someone like me with an interest in costume.
It would be nice to think that they were being archived.
In time Our Ancestors#5 may be born and this thread lost...for ever.
I find that rather sad.
Please take all of the Our Ancestor threads to a safe place for further reference, they are so handy....

Hello Paula - I just popped in for a look. Some of the latest photos are just delightful.

I remember that very early on Pentio and I were concerned at Our Ancestors being in the Even Lighter Side.
Like you and dee I think this has been a wonderful source of information for all and brought many of us great delight.
It continues to do so..........

Thought I would have another go at posting a picture so here goes.
This is my great great grandmother on my mothers side. I have dated the photo to 1870/1880. She is Sarah Cawood born in Yeadon, West Yorks c1818. It makes her approx 50/60ish.
