I found in my late grandmothers possessions , an album which dates from before 1850, no-one mentioned in it is an ancestor of mine, so can only think it was kept as it is so pretty.
the only name places mentioned are St. Ives and St. john's park.
the book was owned by alice ? who must of been a girl in 1850 aged about 16-21.
other names mentioned are MARY MEE?E , A.E. TEBBUTT , ELIZA MARY , ? ULPH ,
WILLIAM OR JAMES BENJAMIN TODD.
It is possible alice's surname was robson, or that she married a robson as there is a postcard from the louvre dated 1874, with the name alice robson written on the back.
does anything ring a bell with anyone ?

hi oleg
yes i have seen the todd bros. but the handwriting is so beautiful in a dedication TODD has written to alice , i find it hard to believe a teenager in those days could have written it unless they had had a very good education, which going by the occp. of family i do not think they had.
many thanks for trying

there is a lot of poetry in the album, hand written in ink,all beautifully done, and the poems are signed or initialed and dated, most are dedicated to alice, there also some pencil landscapes and a tiny posy tied and pressed.below is just 1 extract
to dear alice
though many a joy around thee smile
and many a faithful heart you meet
where love may cheer life o' dreary way
and turn the bitter to a sweet
let memory sometimes lead thou back,
to other days almost forgot
and when you think of other friends
who love you well "forget me not "
signed A .E. tebbutt 09/12/1851
i just wish it was my ancestors book, but sadly no, i won"t give up trying to find a link somewhere, if "alice" was my ancestor i would love it.
cant do the scanning thing as have'nt got one.
regards chloe

have you seen the ulph family in st ives 1851, there is a john ulph aged 19 working for his dad, who is an ironmonger i think .
I reckon john could be the artist as there is a faint j as an initial, the drawing is dated 1851.
