Hi,

Thanks for the photos. Your William was my Gt Gt Grandfather (Joseph) brother. I donb't know what that makes Amelia and Elizabeth? I get so confused!.

Its great to put faces to names on a sheet of paper.

If I've got things right - Amelia and Elizabeth Pickard were sisters and nieces of your Joseph.  What that makes you and me, who knows! :D

Hi again,

Yes it looks like Amelia and Elizabeth were sisters. I keep looking for a family resemblance but can't see any haha.I have a long list of ancesters that i got sent from another rootchatter, i will try and send it if you have'nt got it. It starts with William and Mary in Sileby and it goes up to the present day. Its looses its direct line to me a bit and goes off to another branch of Pickards. You would maybe recognise them.

Yes please, Anne - send me the list of ancestors.  Even if I have them already, it would be good to check.

Hi MeToo

I have exactly the same photo!  It was taken in 1908 and is of the Leslie family.  My grandfather (James Smith Leslie) is on the far right, in the front.  His twin brother, Robert, is seated on the far left.  They were 10 years old in the photo.

In the back is Donald(1895), William(1893), John (1896)
In the front is Isabella(1900), Robert(1898), Edward(1903) John Leslie (1865), Harry (1904), Elizabeth Brown Leslie/nee Pickard (1865), James Smith Leslie (1898)

My grandpa and grandma moved to Canada in 1928.  I live in BC Canada.

Hello Louise...

...and thank you so much for confirming the family in the pic as Leslies.  It's great to know their names (and ages) at last.  Another new '42nd' cousin - fantastic! ;D 

There is another Pickard thread here too if you haven't already seen it.  If you want to share any information on the Pickard line, send a pm and I'll give you what I have, as well as other photos if you're interested.

Hi MeeToo
The only other photo I have is of my grandfather's parents (John Leslie & Elizabeth Brown Pickard).  I also have a copy of their wedding certificate (1891).  If anyone has photos from this branch, I'd really appreciate having them.  I think my grandpa (James Smith Leslie) pretty well lost contact with his family when he moved to Canada.
