So let's have some more Ancestors....
To start us going, here's one of my dear little Mum, the Nature Lover, with one of her friends... at London Zoo

Here's my Great-Grandmother Harriet Sarah Jackson, 1840ish - 1925, a very scary-looking lady, apparently used to sit on the doorstep smoking a clay pipe. After her husband died, she used to pack her bags and arrive to stay at her children's homes in turn, unannounced  Shocked

She's got a bit of a smile there, Barbara, so she can't have been too bad.

My late dad and sisters were just old enough to remembered her, think she frightened them all!  Her husband looked a little more gentle I think, perhaps a little henpecked!

My Grandma: Betty.  Now aged (nearly) 92.  Rumour has it that she was once on the cover of a magazine.  She worked for 'The Lady' in the 1930's, and was asked by the magazine which held the offices next door to appear on their front cover. Her uncle kept a copy of the magazine for years, but I never got to see it..wish I had.  Unfortunately, she now has alzheimer's so I can't ask her about it. Sad

She looks a lovely lady, and I can well imagine her being asked to do a cover, julie.

She does look lovely,  have you thought about contacting the magazine to see if they have an archive copy they could show you?

Thanks. Smiley But it wasn't the Lady magazine she was on the cover of, it was a magazine in a neighbouring office..  Huh Any suggestions about which magazine that was or how to find out gratefully received!

Oh sorry, misread that, but why not contact them anyway, they should know if anyone does - there's a section there to 'contact us'

They can only say no, at worst.  I see their offices are at 39-40 Bedford St, so another idea might be to look in the trade directories for the 1930's

My brand new cousin sent me a photo/postcard of my family at their farm in Cheshire. My Grandma is bottom left, My Great Aunt bottom right, my G Grandmother middle left and G Grandfather top left. My GG Grandfather is in the middle and GG Uncle Llewellyn in the middle at the back. I don't know who the rest are YET but can't wait to find out...... I think the woman in the middle on the right looks very much like my G Grandmother - maybe it's her sister??
I am very excited!!!!

I love that picture!  The man at the rear, right, has those wooden shoes they wore in the cotton mills in Lancashire, am I right ?  I forget what they called them in England.  Are they like the French sabots?

Oh yeah - I didn't notice that. The farm was in Cheshire, so close to the cotton mills. I don't know what you call the shoes.......
Glad you like it......
