Thanks Robert,

I've got ancestors with the same surname and everytime I try to search for them, Louth (the place) comes up.....

I know I sound dim

Thank you everyone for your input and help.

Hi Peter, no there isn't anything on the back but the photo itself has been stuck onto thick green card which has the photographers details on (which is what you can see up the side of the photo) so I don't know if anything is written on the reverse of the photo but I doubt it as I would imagine it was stuck onto the card when it was processed.

Thanks,

SBW

Hi, not a problem.

MYSTERY SOLVED  (I think??)

I've just been looking at photos of my gt gt grandma when she would have been around the same age just on the off chance there may be a connection there and there is some similarities especially the chin but I just fell over after I noticed the photo I have of my gt gt grandma is on the same green background with the same photographer and his business address up the side and she is sat with her family in front of a wooden shack which is made in the same style as the barn that 'Wilhelmina' is sat in front of on her trike thing so these photos were taken at the same time !!!!!!!!!  so I'm pretty sure it is Zilpha not Wilhelmina, the sad thing is it was taken not long before she died as I can date the photo of my gt gt grandma from the the number and ages of the children with her-1899

Now to find out why nobody spoke about her!!

Hi ,
suffolkboyswife.

You have intrigued me and confused me
the lady on the bike,   is she Zelphia James who died in 1899 , Louth, aged 38 yrs. 

hope you don't mind me being nosey 

Eilleen.

Hi Eilleen,

Yes I believe that is her, I am awaiting certificates to see if it can help confirm (or otherwise!)

No I don't mind you being nosey 

[suffolkboyswife]

I've just had death cert and it is the correct lady (Zilpha) the informant was my gt gt grandad (her brother in law)

Cause of death - Morbus Coxae 22 years ch. Nephritis lardaceous disease of the liver.

I'm trying to work out what they are at the moment but it doesn't sound good.  I think the first one she had for 22 years is some sort of arthritis of the hips so that would explain the chair she was in, but I'm not totally sure as nothing specific is coming up when i google.
