44D is of The Old Bridge, Burton-upon-Trent; it's another copy (I think) of 34A

44C is (I think?) of "The Abbey" next door to St. Modwen's Church, Burton-upon-Trent.  It's now a "wine bar".  At one stage, the owner of the Album lived here.

44A shows Wormhill Vicarage, Derbyshire.  I guess the Vicar (at the time?) may have been a relative of Martha Hammond Thornewill (nee Wright of Eyam) of Burton-upon-Trent.  Does anyone know ?

I have my grandmother's grandmother's album of some 150 Cartes de Visite, with not very many of them identified.    I have scanned the empty pages, and front & back of each card. 

Can you tell me what date each of these is from, please?  Information about the Studio would be of interest, too.

Page 44 is of "places".

I'm posting the lo-res versions, so please don't bother to try to improve them.

I am gathering the comments to store in a file alongside the pictures, and, when finished, it will be quite a task to analyse them all and draw deductions as to the identity of some currently unknown.

For Page 43, see

And 43 B - again I know nothing of this couple; though I think he may have appeared earlier in the book?
