Hello Andy,

Thankyou, that is the John RIXHAM I was looking for. Would you mind checking the 1871 Census too please. I now finally know the siblings of my Thomas RIXHAM whose line I do have from 1881. Much appreciated.

Regards from "down under"

Hi.  I have 2 studio photos from Curzon Studios, 115 The Grove, Stratford, E (SW) 15.

The name U or A Rexham is on the back of a photo of a woman and a toddler, and probably 1904/5 when Curzon Studios was in business at that address.

Found in a thrift shop in New Zealand - I've been looking for an owner for years, mistakenly thinking that 'Stratford' was the NZ city. Wrong side of the world! Any likely connection?

Hello NoNonsenseNana,

I have been waiting for a reply from a cousin in Yorkshire. She has no idea who the woman and child might be. Sorry unable to help. But you never know, someone might see your posting sometime. Regards.
