Yes but it was clearly a number of job-lots all put together so I suspect they were from house clearances or a car boot.

Great that you've got all the threads going, Paul. It may take quite some time, but sooner or later you could get a response. I'm still getting the odd response to photos I posted on here some years ago.

Ok thanks. I was thinking maybe if they were connected and if one family was found they might know about the other people in the rest of the photos.

I should have known it wouldnt be that easy  ;D

Me too - I think that is one feature of this hobby that makes it so attractive. A lot of the hardest work is the waiting.

Excellent work, gang!
I'm a grandson of Ernest Norman Marks (and "A"'s nephew).
Pleased to see my grandfather as he was when very young.

Goodness I nearly missed your comment amongst all these messages!! What a lovely thought, joining up just so you can post here.

RootsChat is an amazing place where all sorts of amazing people join in just for the fun of helping out. I am sure I speak for all involved in saying it was a pleasure to help find a home for the photo.

It is good to know your uncle is pleased with the photo and we all hope it is cherished as it always should have been.

I have just completed digitising and putting up a catalogue of Ernest Norman Marks' home library as of 1962, when he was 74 years old.  This means that members of Rootschat have not only seen his picture aged 2, but now an insight into his intellectual interests as an adult.  He was a businessman, not an academic, but his library doesn't reflect his business interests, with one exception. He was my grandfather.

Thank you for the fascinating insight. What an amazing image of the man as an educated adult. He clearly had strong views about the war and how the Jews were treated along with a clear respect for Churchill.

Good to see also such a far reaching collection of the classics with seemingly all of the major and influential writers and poets represented from Shakespeare through Shaw to Steinbeck.

Thank you for sharing.

Great story.

I wish more people would rescue old photos. Makes me hopeful that someone out there will find some family members of mine, so that I can solve some of my own mysteries.

Thank you for being so thoughtful.

I just found this topic. Amazing story. I am not related directly to this Marks branch, although many of their cousins are my cousins, and Anthony's wife and children are my blood cousins.
