A Mighty Challenge! My G, Grandma...
« on: Sunday 06 January 08 06:16 GMT (UK) »
This is an extremely rare photo of my Great Grandmother, Ivy King (nee Dickman), taken when she was 23 yrs of age in the year 1919. This is the only photo we have of her at such a young age... It's one of those photos that was simply "stumbled upon", and we are rapt to have found it. However, as you can see it has taken a rather large beating over the ensuing 88 years...

Thank you to one and all for your efforts! We really appreciate it!
