Thanks Mack,

I didn't know that, but not sure how I can find out more except by waiting for the 1911 census to be released, unless of course you know something I don't.

I've recently been contacted by William Nelson's brother John descendants who were hoping I could fill in some more of their annoying gaps in their knowledge, but unfortunately my gaps are the same as theirs, still I'll plug away.

I've found a possible marriage of Lilian Rose Nelson, a Lily R Nelson married a Frederick C Hall at Erpingham, which isn't too far away, in 1st Qtr 1920, which could fit nicely with the youngish girl, baby and her man on the right.

Hi there

If this is lucilla Nelson then I think that this is part of my Fathers family.  I am getting my father to check it - I think there is possibly Amelia Garrett (nee Butiffant) wife of Albert Edward Garrett, Hilda Buttifant, and possibly Doris, Alfred & Olive Garrett in this picture.

Olive Garret was my fraternal Grandmother.

Albert Edward Garrett was also killed in Palestine in 1917.
