Detectives required for lost soul and a photo date ...
« on: Thursday 26 November 09 02:08 GMT (UK) »
I found this lovely pic in a shop last week...  the shop assistant telephoned me as she knows from past encounters that I have to take these lost souls home with me,  ;) 

 It  is on matte card which is 13x11 inches approximately...It looks like a photograph that has been "doctored "  IE enhanced with what looks like a darkened watercolour ... eg her eyelashes and hair especially  the sleeves and parts of the lace on the neckline and the jewelery .. On the back is written her name , maiden name and the name of her two children !!
It says ...Louisa Mary Young nee Suffield -mother of Kitty and Marjorie .

Below the pic and not scanned ( pic was too big to get it all on scanner ) is what appears to be thename of the photographer A THAWLEY ... and on the right  BOAR LANE LEEDS .
Any information  about the this lady would be a real bonus , a date etc for the pic, Photographer  and of course I am offering her as a practise piece for your restorative powers and for colouring if you wish . She was found in a shop in Worcestershire near Kidderminster. What are the chances of finding some next of kin do you think ???   
 Poll...... with deerstalker and magnifying glass ! ;D

Right...  so this photo must be after 1901 1911 if its that Mrs Young... Hopefully Prue or Jim or China  or any other dating expert will confirm that before we go off on a wild wotsit ...  I only guess at dates with a general look  but they seem to know styles from year to year in some cases !!  :o ;D

My big bad... marriage was 1911 not 1901... sorry.... :'( :'(

She was born 1876 Bradford.  I have both her and Alfred on 1891, 1901 and 1911 Census.

No real leads on marriages for either of their daughters though, doesn't seem that there were anymore children either.

Cheers

I found them still in Lanc in 1911 Poll. he was 27 and she was 35.  His occupation given as Clothiers Shop Manager.  His brother George Bell YOUNG was living with them, aged 29, Boot and Shoe Salesman.   They both came from reasonably sized families --  Alfred from Darlington Durham and Louisa from Yorkshire. Will see if I can find anything useful...  at last, something to allieviate the boredom caused by multiple broken bones....
