A lady you have every reason to be proud of, alftabor.
She is lovely, too, but the look in her eyes seems to say that she has seen things she wished she had not seen.
What a terrible time it must have been for her.

This very sad picture is of my maternal grandmother's youngest sister, Hilda Grace Meyers. She died not long after this was taken - apparently she had a fall in the playground and never recovered. At some point I must get round to purchasing her death certificate to see eactly what happened.

She was the apple of her father's eye and he himself died just a couple of months later.

I've just been sent some great photos of my grandparents  and I just want to share some of them. The family group that looks so middle class is my gran and grandad with my mum and big brother. It must have been taken around 1928. Grandad was a steel moulder in the Sheffield steel works

Anitamo - Hilda Grace Meyers  (the girl pictured in the wheelchair) was 11 years old when she died. I've found the gefistration so I'll try and order the death certificate to see if that sheds any light on what happened to her. Very sad story.

Thought you might like to see this one, it must have been  taken around the same time as the family portrait and  by the smile on everyones faces  they must have been having fun. The lady on the left is my gran and it's strange to see her laughing like that, I remember her as being quite a bit straight faced most of the time. The young girl is my mum about nine years old and the lady next to my gran is my great aunt ( gran's sister in law) her husband died in WW1, four years after they were married . I don't yet know who the third lady is.
