After a long time I decided to carefully removed the old photos to see if any information on the back of photos. The albumn was in poor condition and torn on many pages and some photos missing. I have labelled them so I know in which order they were in the book (dark brown carved leather album) Many are faded but others look fabulous
A name or two but nothing useful at the moment except names of photographers in Kyneton, Melbourne, Daylesford, Creswick, Inglewood, Fitzroy, Paris, Dublin - all postcard size
Most adults but some children and a couple with adults and children
One of a brick house with 2 adults and a boy out the front
One man in a uniform
One of a brick 2 storey shop and woman in coat outside
One of a pub and 2 woman out the front - I think I have seen this before on a website (maybe Ballarat)
Wedding photo of couple
Some look like they are woman in black 'morning' dress
A woman outside a 2 storey house
11 larger size - one of the large photos is a cottage and 1 man and 2 woman out the front - could this be the Lancefield house (Dunsford Street)
A man wearing a medal
A postcard with a woman on the front - on the back to Miss Russell from Jean 19 Jan 1917
Two mid size photos
One of the large photos (very faded) is a large family group on rocks - think I have also seen this before on a website
There are two from Atelier Photographique L Buvelot (sounds French) - on the back it says H. Doran from H. Hollow and the other says Joseph Hollow
Could anyone connected to Russell family please make contact - I am going to have the photos scanned and could share the digital images
Hope to hear from interested perhaps distant relatives of this family .......... Alison
