pdf is one of the allowed attachment file types  :)
file size may or may not be an issue

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Numpty question!
« on: Tuesday 26 October 10 13:47 BST (UK)  »
I have some pictures that my sister-in -law has scanned and sent as pdf file attachments (Adobe Reader). Can I post these in this format for some of you techno wizards to work your magic? If so, how do I go about it?

Sorry if this is a really daft question, but in these matters, I really am clueless.

Best wishes,
 Annette

 Seems like there were Tryphenas all over the place! Beautiful baby by the way.

Hi,

    myg,g grandmother was a Tryphena Pride born 1858 in the little village of Newington Bagpath,Glous.

Tryphena had sisters Adelina and Caroline which strikes me as rather posh names for little village maids :).

What a sad story. Makes you realise what an easy life we have by comparison. Hope it all turned out well for the children.
 Best wishes

My wife's family includes a Tryphena Tilley 1821-24 born in Poole. They were rather an unfortunate family group as her father died aged 32, his widow had two further children (given his name) and most of them ended up in the workhouse. Tryphena's elder sister had an illegitimate daughter at age 16, who after living on Brownsea Island when both she and her mother were married to workers in the pottery, emigrated to the US in 1870 taking the surviving 6 of her 8 children (including a babe in arms) and had two further children in Ohio.

The novelist Thomas Hardy had a relative called Tryphena.

 Perish the thought.
 This site is full of spooky coincidences today. I live not too far from Spalding/Cowbit and my first married name was Ashton!
Whats going on? Do you think all the long dead ancestors are having a fun time linking us all up?
Best wishes,
Annette

One of my ancestors was born Tryphena Ashton in Cowbit Lincolnshire in 1768 and there was definitely a rash of Tryphenas born in the area at that time. The family did continue with the name for a couple of generations but then dropped it.

I've never thought of it being like Kylie before - or even worse that it could possibly be the C18th version of Chardonnay!  :o

What an interesting life, especially for those times.
By a spooky coincidence, another family history that I'm doing has a lot of Topsham / pub connections. My husband's gt gt grandfather had the Sun Inn in 1841 and his brother ran the Lord Nelson both in High St. His gt gt grandmother is also buried in the churchyard, but a while before your Tryphena.
 We love Topsham and visit whenever we can, especially the antiques centre.
Best wishes,
 Annette

It's Biblical - Romans 16:12

Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord. Salute the beloved Persis, which laboured much in the Lord.

I've come across all three names, but Tryphena much more often than the other two.  This lady was my first encounter with the name.

Thanks for your responses.
Looks like the family connection may not be as strong as I first thought.

Back to the sleuthing it seems.

Best wishes

The Common Room / Tryphena ?

Does anyone know if Tryphena was a fashionable name in the early/mid 1800s?

I have discovered a couple in one family and don't know if there is a link or whether Tryphena was the 1800 equivalent of Kylie.

 Best wishes
