Hello Carol (both Carols  ;D )

Thanks CarolA3 for your comments.

Being insatiably curious, I had a look for Randolph Adams, and saw that he took many of the later photographs that bore Henry Taunt's name.

Who knows, it could have been your great grandfather who actually took that photo!

As you say, it's quite possible that this picture was one of Randolph's but sadly we'll never know because Taunt, as the employer, would have held the copyright anyway :(

Still, it's the first time I've found any family link to one of these quests so I'm happy ;D

I've been looking, Groom.  ;D

Not easy to find, but I think I've got the 1901 details.
Living in the vicarage, was Nathaniel Castleton Stephen Poyntz/Poynter (54) and his wife Helen Willes Poynter (37)

RG13 Piece number 1140 Folio 115 Page 1

They're still there in 1911.

Hi, I hope you're well.

Sorry, I have to correct the surname. It's Poyntz not Poynter. Willis Minor not Willes  ;)
