Here are photos of my husband's McConnell grandparents.  We had never seen any of them until we cleared my m-i-l's house as she has moved into residential accommodation.

Thanks everyone for your  family photos.

Hello Ellen  :)  Two great photos. Can just imagine Grandma walking along with those two flowers on her hat bobbing along with her.

Regards.......

This is one of the oldest pictures I have. They are William and Mary (Pemberton) Routledge, my G-G-Grandparents, taken c.mid-1860's. He was a Corporal in the Royal Artillery.

A wonderful photo to treasure stoney. How I wish I had one going back that far. One question - do you know if the little child on father's lap is a boy or a girl ???
Thanks for showing.....

I believe the little girl is my G-Grandmother, Mary Jane Routledge (later Meyers), but we're not sure about the other child - there were 5 boys and 4 girls! He does look like a boy, though, and it was the custom to dress boys in dresses at that time, certainly for something as formal as a portrait.

And because William was in the army the children were born all over the place: Gosport, Hants.;  Pembroke Dock, Wales;  Ireland;  Bermuda; and Carlisle, Cumberland!

It certainly looks like a boy's 'frock'

Thanks stoney for your reply.

I love everyones family history as well as my own  :)

My Gt.Grandparents first child was born in Rouen, France and the numerous others all over England. Nothing as exotic as Bermuda though.

Yes rancegal - I think it looks more like a ' boys' frock - not frilly enough for a little girl......
