Don't know if I've sent this one to another message already - but this is my paternal - G-Grandad, Joseph Edward Beattie (Snr). I wonder if he rode that bike or just took the opportunity to be photographed with it?

Just thought i would share this photo of my ggg...grandmother Eliza Ward who lived in St Helena. She arrived on the island in 1842 with her husband William who was in the Old Saints Regiment. After he retired he was chief signalman for the island. The photo was taken in the late 1860's.

I was having a look through this thread and thought it would be a good idea if it was brought back to give others the opportunity of posting some more photos.

Just looked back through this thread it is fantastic - thanks pentio for reviving it.

I would like to start the ball rolling again a school photo from 1910 (not quite 100 yrs old!), my Grandmother is second row, third child from the right.  Her name is Lynn Barker(Willliams then).  The school is Trewirgie School in Redruth, Cornwall.  (PaulaToo if you happen to read this - where did your Emily Barker originate from pls?)

Hi Su,
Emily Baker, born Emily Price, 1840, North Marston, Bucks.
Married Denchfield Baker, North Marston, 1862
Died at home of daughter, Granborough, Bucks 1931.

Any relation?

Sorry PaulaToo was relating to Reply 98 which said Emily Barker my error!

She just happened to be a seamstress, saw sewing machine etc. 

Ah well - But they were wonderful photographs to look at though.

Hope this board gets going again, it is so thought provoking and important as regards costume etc.

Thanks Su
