WHITTLE family fairground connection

[CV-S]

Those sure are amazing photos

Thanks Wayne for sharing them

Just to think, they may be great uncles and cousins...

I have read a book which includes this excerpt by a daughter of George and Jane (Segdwick) Whittle [when asked what her father did]: He had to make the roads, he came here from Cambridge with his father in a horse and cart to help them make the roads in Weybridge.

Horse and cart is a connection, perhaps? Judging by his age this could be sometime around 1887-1893.

I thought I'd add a photo as well, the daughter of George and Jane Sedgwick. Rose.

I have put these on to preserve the images as soon they will be too old to see, got many more, I just thought it would be nice to see some of the people that have been talked about over the past pages and years.
Every picture tells a story
first is Whittle family at Uncle Alfie@s Wedding
second is Family sitting on the rails at Epsom in the dip, a charter fair that went on for centuries but was stopped by the Council illegally

Thanks again for sharing them,

It's very important to preserve the past, it's a shame to see photo's that are ripped or faded. It's great to get the faces to the names and stories discussed here by various relatives.

I'd say that there is a resemblance to the Weybridge Whittle's but maybe that's just because I want there to be...

I wonder who the 'Unknown Whittle's' are, a story to be told with that photo, I wonder why the young man has a walking stick.

In the big picture with all the Whittle family, do you know who the man second from far right (leaning against the pole) is?
He looks alot like George Thomas Whittle.

Just wondering...
