Hello Everyone

Saz - good to hear from you. I think the photo of Auntie and friends is really lovely. It is sad to think that the old grave-yard is now a car-park of all things

Taid - Sally had very beautiful eyes - another sad loss especially to her family.

Paula - That's the sort of thing I do - forget the photo ! I laughed at your description of Eliza Ann and her fascinating lifestyle. Of such things are family history made.
The photo of you at your christening ( it must be you) was lovely. Do you still have the christening robe in the family?
It reminded me that mine was made of parachute silk and had a butterfly worked on the top centre panel.
I was told that the morning I was christened the church had been bombed - my mother's description of the open roof and the screaming baby was quite humorous.

I promised Elliebob I would post a photo of my other Grandma who also loved large hats........ she was Annie Mary Jennings.

Thanks Pentio for the resizing...must get Saz to alter hers as its made us all biggggggggggggggger.

Emmeline.............What a big hat...looks really old that picture....Grace looks like you did at the same age, same look when you wouldn't leave the dustbin alone...hee hee

Taid....how very sad about Sally....she was such a lovely looking woman

Paula....you could right a book about Eliza.......maybe the family never approved of the man...thats why she didn't marry...well at least one of them

...can we hear more about her please

Saz...........WHERE/WHEN DID YOU GET THAT PHOTOGRAPH........never seen that one before,thought I had managed to pinch them all...................and doesn't Auntie look lovely.(shame about the graves)

Got a bit of a hold up with a possessive sister who seemed to think that the album might meet with an accident on the way back - she didn't worry whether I would though

And it's one of those that has sticky stuff and plastic - they'll be ruined.

She's renaged on her part of the bargain and I am not very pleased

Families - who'd have 'em :

More lovely, lovely pictures and interesting tales.

Emmeline - I just love the big hat.

Taid - it's so sad to read of lovely young people who died so early.

I'm off to my parents' tonight and plan to borrow their album to scan.
