Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Unidentified Victorian brooch
« on: Friday 01 May 20 11:55 BST (UK)  »
I was looking through a family CdV album, and I spotted something. In three photographs the same brooch appears always worn at the neck. It is worn by a mother and daughter combination.

They were not wealthy aristocrats or gentry, so that would rule out some sort of high end decoration. I just wondered if anybody might have any ideas as it is an item that has cropped up a few times, so I am assuming that it meant something to them.

These are the best close ups that I have been able to get.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Unidentified Church / Possibly South Wales
« on: Tuesday 08 October 19 13:46 BST (UK)  »
This picture appears in a family photo album. The family were based in the Reynoldston area near Swansea, so for many years I assumed it was Reynoldston Church. However, I appear to have been wrong!

Does anybody know where it might be?

Many kind thanks in advance for any help.

This photo is in an old family CDV album - the album presented in 1884.

This is a random CDV in the album, but I was wondering if anybody might know who is in the image?

Many thanks for any help.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Victorian dress/symbols?
« on: Friday 06 September 19 13:36 BST (UK)  »
I was wondering if what this lady is wearing is some kind of uniform or if it has some kind of meaning?

The cross is obvious, but I was wondering about the items around.

She appears in a family CDV album. Potentially she may have had links with the Unitarian Church.

Her name was "Mrs Strong," but I have no further information about her.

London and Middlesex / Southwark Wesleyan Methodist Chapel
« on: Saturday 29 June 19 14:35 BST (UK)  »
I was wondering if anybody might have any images or information regarding the Wesleyan Methodist Chapel that was located at Southwark Park, Rotherhithe?

I have copies of some trustee documents relating to the chapel, but I have little information regarding it.

Many thanks for any help.

Gloucestershire / Bromhead Ironmonger Bristol
« on: Monday 25 March 19 10:10 GMT (UK)  »
A bit of a long shot, but I was wondering if anybody might have any pictures of the Bromhead Ironmonger shop that was located in Milk Street?

The firm was started by Timothy Bromhead (1800-1868) in the early 1800s and was still in business at least until the 1930s.

Thank you most kindly in advance for any help.

Europe / French Uniforms
« on: Thursday 14 February 19 19:50 GMT (UK)  »
Hopefully I am posting this in the right place as it relates to France.

I was wondering if anybody might have any ideas on what these French uniforms might be?

It is early days at the moment and I am not certain about who these men are, so seeking clues to help to identify them.

Person 2

Europe / French text and unidentified uniform
« on: Thursday 14 February 19 19:42 GMT (UK)  »
I was wondering if anybody with a knowledge of French might be able to read the following handwriting or have any idea what the uniform is worn by the young boy. The picture is of Robert. All three boys are wearing the same uniform in their individual portraits.

Many thanks in advance for any help.
