Are you sure that you have the correct name for the store? Fry's chocolate were a large manufacturer taken over by Cadbury in the early 20th century.
Where did you get the name from? If it was a photograph, are you looking at an advertisement on the shopfront which were very common in those days.

I'm trying again, only because I don't think it came through the first time. Sorry if I duplicate.

If you look at the picture through half closed eyes there appears to be the remnants of a name in the usual place. Try doing it with the original and also playing with photoediting software on the scanned version. You might find something.

Try looking up your great-aunt in LIBINDX at http://libindx.moray.gov.uk/mainmenu.asp and see if there is a mention of her baker's shop.
I don't recall any buildings still in existence at the Cabrach with a shop front like that. There is certainly no bakery there nowadays.

What do you think the products in the windows are? The shop just doesn't look like a bakers to me.
Could it have been the shop when she had just taken it over? Hence the removal of the name over the shop and the lack of bread and cakes in the window.
It's the sort of photo that local newspapers like to run, asking people for memories. Our local paper has one every week. Anyone know what the paper for that area would be?

Kooky, I know who the people are. I am just looking for more information on the bakery that Annabella Mitchell owned around 1918-1920. Not quite sure of when her husband Charles passed away 1916. She and the kids stayed on the farm for a few more years at smallburn or somewhere. Then she started a boarding house, then she bought the bakery. Maybe the picture in the paper would give me some hints. Thanks for all your help.
