Going back a few years with the same family. This photograph was a constant fixture in the bedroom of one of the sisters until her death and I came across it in a box at the home of one of her grandchildren. One of her great grandchildren wanted me to go through the old photographs to identify the people she did not know. With only 4 sisters and the brother we know that this photograph must have been taken between 1899 and 1904. The 1911 census shows that 7 children were born to the mother and 7 children survived. I am always delighted to see an old box of photographs being brought out and quite inconsolable when told that old photographs have been thrown out with the rubbish. This is my history.
