Surrey / Re: Winifred Barnett, born 5/7/1901

Thanks to all who did some research for us …through the family oral history Winifred died from having a goiter.  When visiting Kingston a few years ago, we were unable to find her tombstone or tablet,  that part of the cemetery is very overgrown.  Cheers, Bert

Winifred was born in Hampton Wick, Kingston upon Thames, Surrey …She was single , never married.   
   We know that she was in Eccleston Square living with another family in 1924.  We have a postcard mailed to her that year from Father( Winifred is my wife’s aunt).  We were interested to find out who she was working for while in Eccleston, London.  She was evidently living at 32 St George’s place. We assume that she was a servant, but not sure.
   Thanks for your help.
       We found out about her death date from a family bible.

We are trying to find info on Winifred Barnett, born May 7, 1901, died February 13, 1925.  We are trying to find her death certificate, and also where she worked towards the end of her life.  In 1924 she was living in Eccleston Sq, London.  Any info on her job would be truly appreciated.  We are unable to find her info from the 1921.   Thanks so much,  cheers Bert

Hello All,,   thank you all so much for solving that mystery for my family.  We all loved that photo, but never had any idea what the make was.
     Thats my great grandfather filling up the steamer, and my grandmother sitting in the rear seat.  They are in the Cambridge/ Boston Massachusetts area.   I had seen the little boy in the corner of the shot, but never associated it with a water filling station.  I am sure you are all right about filling the water tank in the front, and the tiller type steering rod    Very cool info....
    thanks so much in particular Japeflakes and Vintman for helping me id the car....I will share your info with my family.    Thanks so much,  the people of rootschat are the best.......Please everybody stay healthy and stay positive in the crazy world we all share......Bert

If  the car and the house are his - upper middle class.
   Yes Barry I think they were pretty well off.  He owned a commercial real estate company in Boston, and they lived in the "Bunker Hill" district of town.   
      Pat, your ligthing up of my Gramma's face helps . you can see her features better.  She was born in 1887, I dont know if that helps .....She looks like in late teens or early 20's ????   No date on the picture tho.   Thx again     Bert

Bert again,   I looked at the original copy of the picture with a magnifying glass and sure enough, under the rear window,( just like in the picture that Dan found) is the work Speedwagon.  So it seems that it would be an early 1920s REO Speedwagon.   You guys are the best,  Thanks a million,  Bert

Thanks Carol,    Yeah I love the photo too.....I thought that the wicker basket mounted on the side to presumably carry umbrellas was very fun.   I wish I could get the exposure of my Gramma better,  she is hidden in the shadows..  Cheers,  ..Bert
