Glad you liked the photos.  Here are two others that may be of interest.

This one shows Mary with two of her daughters - very blurred but a nice photo all the same.  The daughters themselves don't look like spring chickens so I guess the photo was taken not so long before Mary's death in 1920:

Mary had fourteen children (maybe fifteen we're not completely sure) - it is probably Alice and Annie in the picture tho again we're not absolutely sure.  Alice and Annie both had Wimbush surname, as they married two brothers - a third sister, Kate, married another Wimbush brother.

Here is Mary's husband, John Rowland Hill, father of the daughters - photo probably at the same time as the earlier one I sent of Mary before.  A very good baker and cakemaker in Birmingham Horsefair and a keen spiritualist, apparently:
