A lovely photo Dee.

  I never knew any of my grandparents so the few photos I have are very precious.
The older lady on the right is my gr gr grandmother Frances & the little boy, John, is her son from her second marriage. The lady in the middle is my grandmother Fanny & on the left is her sister Florence.
Gr Uncle John & his wife Aunt Lou were the nearest thing to grandparents I had. Uncle John was a very kind, gentle man.

williamsedge,

Where were your Christies from?

My husband's Christys were from Bolton, Lancashire and West Kirby, Cheshire.  There's an early one from Market Drayton, Shropshire, but I haven't yet proven that he's connected.

(I'm always on the look-out for rellies!)

Regards,
Josephine

Dee , what a fabulous photo of your 4 generations.  I would give lots to have such a record.  We do have pics of the latest 4 generations with our parents, children and grandchildren.  I only have one photo of me with the only grandparent I knew.

Hi 

Haven't had anything to put up here for a while but I've just found this one tucked away. I'm going to have to do it up a bit before it goes on my website. Thought that you might like to see it - especially Canadian pals 

It's of Alfred Burgess and his wife Janet Laidlaw, must have been taken circa 1890in Arran Township, Bruce County, Ontario. They married 19 Nov 1890. Janet died in 1911 and Alfred in 1923. Alfred was born 11 June 1843, Manchester. His father William (my 3 x great uncle), emigrated circa 1855-6.
