I've recently been given 2 photographs of Rebecca Lock of Nailsea, one calling at Court Farm in Clevedon, the other a studio photo with one of her babies.

I can scan these, would you like copies?

Thrilled to know about the link with the Joules - you'll know of the engraving of Isaac, I'm sure?

best wishes, Jane Lilly

In response to tiggi's comment, I am a descendant of Valley Joles and Lily Stanley Joles.  In our family she was always referred to as Lily.  What I've been able to worry out is very little. The family story was that they met in the US and she followed him back to the UK and married him.  William didn't survive to come back to the US in 1910 with Lily and Henry.  I have a couple of pics of GrGrGrandpa Valley and GrGrGrandma Lily.  Pics of GrGrandpa Henry and GrGrandma Mabel Beamer Joles.
