Re: Our Ancestors #4

As it's my wifes family she knows most of them but I know what you are saying I have a wonderful photo of someone with 'guess who this is' written on the back !!!

[Tony Payne]

Here is a picture of my Mum, Aunt and Uncle, taken about 1930 (my Mum was born 1918 and the eldest of the 3).  I think it was taken at a wedding in the village of Barby near Rugby (Warwickshire but maybe still Northants back then).  Don't you just love the outfits!

Sadly my Mum passed away 9 years ago, 4 days before coming over to visit us in the USA.  My aunt who was only a year younger never recovered from the shock and died 9 months later, then my uncle died 18 months after that.

Oh, Tony, dear little uncle, how sweet he looks.

[Tony Payne]

My uncle was a great person.  Fortunately his wife (my aunt) is still alive and going strong, and his children and grandchildren and ggrandchildren.

The outfits all look delightful, Tony! The girls probably loved theirs - and your uncle probably hated having to be dressed up in good clothes.....dee

[Tony Payne]

I'm sure you are right Dee - I used to hate having to dress up in a shirt and tie with a cap to go to school, and still do hate having to dress up.  It's nice that I can now go to work casual - collared shirt but no tie, but as soon as I get home it's t-shirt, shorts and barefoot.

I seem to have missed these since we moved to #4.  What lovely pictures.

Some of you may remember my quest to see my uncle's pictures - I've spoken to him this evening and going to see him on Thursday evening.  I sent him some of the reports from my family tree programme and he says that he has looked at them several times and may be able to tell me something that I haven't found out or my mother doesn't remember as he is older than her!

More news after the visit and hopefully some new pics
