I've been very lucky Joe. 
Lots of photos have been kept.  As I said earlier, I'm hoping for more next Friday when I see Carol - photos from the family home must be new to me (is there an emoticon for lots of fingers crossed?)

PS... learning curve.....at the top right of each post it says "quote".
Saves you cutting and pasting (or retyping if you're a complete numpty  ).

More older photos....
These are not very old but, again, I love them.
My Mothers Uncle William. 
First photo is him with 'Terries'. William (front row centre) went on to serve in The Great War, won the DCM, got home, then died in 1919.
Imagine, surviving WW1 and then dying the next year of natural causes.

What wonderful pictures ...... a nice little change to see a shop ...... but look at the price of cutting!!!    and how much it costs now

Yes, but look at the hairstyles!
MarkyP - where do you go?  It might be worth travelling.  Of course, I don't get pensioners discount yet! 

I'm not there yet either!  Got about another 20 yrs to go!

I would love to know who was the first person born to have their photo taken? (as opposed to who was the first person who had their photo taken). Have tried to google it, but haven't come up with answer. 

I have a book called "A Country Camera 1844-1914.

On the front cover is a photo of Robert Morvinson, carrier and shoemaker of Stallingborough, Lincs, taken 1857, when he was 82. He was born in 1775, when the US was still a British Colony, and Bonnie         Prince Charlie was still alive, according to the caption.

I bet he's a pretty good contender for the title.
