Found - Photo Album *Completed Thank You All*
« on: Tuesday 20 June 06 00:10 UTC (UK) »


I wonder if this belongs to anyone on RootsChat, or maybe somebody recognises the name.

This letter is reproduced with permission from Danielle.

I work for Penrith City Library (NSW.  Australia) and we recently had a photo album handed in containing photos of men in uniform during World War II - pictures taken at a zoo and a photo of a headstone for a Florence Stewart who died in 1947.

I imagine the owner must be missing it terribly and I would love to reunite them with their wonderful album.

Oh I do hope it finds its owner or ancestor

So many cherished photos & albums are given away through time.

I know my side had heaps of photos taken  as my mum has a sample of them but where the rest ended up .... who knows!

I'd love to see it reunited with it's owner.    I know RC'ers will do thier best.

So many of my family photos were thrown away by my Mother as .. . . 'I didn't think anyone wanted them, they were so old' . .. . ...   Can you imagine the scream I sent up??       Undecided  Undecided  Undecided Cry  Cry  Cry

Have you thought of getting in touch with the cemetery where Florence Stewart is buried? There might be family who still care for her plot.

It looks from the previous listing of her death, that it could be http://www.cheltenhamcemetery.com/

Thanks Janice, I'll pass that info on to Danielle, as yet there's no luck in finding the owner, so it's a case of trying anything.

Thanks again

Hi,

You might want to try the City of Penrith, Mayor's office, (as this is where the album was turned in). Unfortunately, I cannot find the website for Penrith.

Also, as the other Florence Stewart died in Canterbury, you might also want to try there. This would probably be the best place to start, as she would probably be buried there as well. The cemeteries should have last known contact details for the owner(s) of this lair. The city might also have property tax details, or a city directory, showing names of residents in or around 1947.
http://www.canterbury.nsw.gov.au/index.htm

They may be able to either post on their websites, or local papers, or someone there, may know the family. If you scan some of the photographs, showing cemetery, soldiers and even the photo of the zoo, they may be able to narrow it down a bit.

On another board on Rootschat, I contacted the mayor's office for a city in Canada, and he was able to locate the family directly. Here is the link, that shows the results.
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,101535.120.html

You might also want to post on the armed forces board, possibly with photos of the soldiers, asking if someone could do a look-up for enlistment papers of "Stewart" in or around the Canterbury area.

This may sound like a longshot, but not impossible, as the other board shows.

Thank you to everyone on RC who suggested ways and means of finding the owner of the photo album.   A great nephew of Florence has been found and has claimed the album - and he was delighted to get it.

Thanks again
