Thanks for the pics Poll, I'm sorry you don't have any of your mum.  I spent a couple of weeks at my dad's this last summer scanning every pre 1950 photo he had and having him tell me who everyone was. There were such a nice lot and I have enjoyed having them on the computer. I've made up a few prints to have around the house but it's hard to choose.  This was one of my favourites.  Just sat here putting together CDs for my aunty and her family and my dad's cousin and his family.  Isn't it nice now that we can share the pics around instead of having to split them all up.  thanks again,
Louise

Louise,

I am sure that time with your father over the summer was precious. I love to sit with my mom and the old pics and talk about the people in them. Better than any research I could do or "find" I make.

did you notice all the good luck symbols in that first picture?  the 4 leaf clover, lucky pig & horseshoes - but what's the significance of the clock - I don't know that as a good luck symbol.

they are very sweet girls and a great pic.  Hope you figure out who they are.

Poll - don't worry Hijack to your heart's contant  ;D  Beautiful colouring may I say

lcsmor - I had noticed them and wondered what they were doing in the pic. I know it was sent at Easter as the writing says so. Maybe all just good luck symbols for the family as it was Easter. Not sure about the four leafed clovers meaning anything much than that though as they weren't Irish (except way way back). All the girls born in Burma.
