Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Unknown surname - are they the same person?
« on: Thursday 04 April 24 07:33 BST (UK) »
I'd look at electoral registers or any other doc's like GRO index BMD's Parish baptisms. marriages & burials or local newspapers search at the addresses
Patrick Thornton or Thornson (using long s )or Thornbin
2nd image suggests the dot over an 'i' (ending bin)or cross over a 't' (ending ton)but the first image
no dot could end in 'son'

« on: Saturday 30 March 24 20:20 GMT (UK) »Annie 1878, Maggie 1876, Mary 1882, Agnes 1884
They didn't stray far with names
Annie left her family not long after Maggie was born and moved to Canada
1914 minus 1878 = 36 Annie
1914 minus 1882 = 32 Mary
1914 minus 1884 = 30 Agnes
its just possible but as bellow
Having said that ? - if Maggie was born 1910 she would have been only 4 in 1914 and its doubtful her mum Annie would have been working in 1914 to say to 1919/20
Though in wartime some grandparents looked after their grandkids to let the children's parents work. (Grandparents own children working)
If it is Agnes born 1896, Elizabeth 1901 and Maggie 1910 then say Maggie is 20 years old in the photo we are talking 1930 plus when the photo was taken then Anges (2) born 1896 would have been 34 years old and Elizabeth 29 years old. That 2 older sisters and one young sister but tin the photo the older lady siter and 2 young sisters
There are 2 Agnes's 1 born 1884 and another born 1896 (12 year apart)
Are the ladies in the photo 2 sister and an auntie or some other combination

Locally known as Houghton near Castleford (Houghton public house is also there) is Glass-Houghton near Pontefract
Hartshead cum Clifton (Brighouse in Halifax parish ) Horbury is Wakefield quite away though to the West of Castleford
Houghton or Glass-Houghton near Castleford seems most likely option
There is Great Houghton just off the main Pontefract to Barnsley road near Grimethorpe

The two years quoted 1910 and 1920 in this thread - a point to remember the 3 ladies in uniform working for a railway could be in WW1 years 1914-1918 women filling men's jobs while the men were in the forces at war .

« on: Sunday 24 March 24 19:47 GMT (UK) »
Looking at the woodwork with what looks like a false wall over the one strip of continuous pattern wallpaper covered wall, some new looking wallpaper below, above the wood looks aged with smokey discoloured wallpaper (same pattern piece of wallpapper), that pipe work which looks fairly modern that was used as a chimney through lofts or attacks from tank cupboards, where gas immersion heaters fitted in copper tanks and when coal fire back fire water heated tanks with smokey chimneys where outlawed with smokeless zones were introduced in the mid 1960's.
Thus that wallpaper looks late 1940's/50's
