hi folks,
the "grog" gene came to Australia with my Benjamin, which resulted in the squandering of exceptionally good opportunities. If he wan't drinking he was gambling.
and he generously passed the gene all the way down to current generations.

I see family resemblences with photos posted per Nick and his contact. I'll kick my scanner again and try to post my photos.

I should point out that the text alongside Arthur's photograph is incorrect. He was killed in April of that year. In fact, he died on the first day that his battalion went into action.

Hi everyone
Robert Carver Wheelwright/Carpenter born Wrestlingworth 1855, married Hannah Saunders Luton Baptist Chapel 1893, died Three Counties Asylum 1915.
Am I imagining a family likeness?
Look forward to seeing your picture Bev, and Marg any chance of seeing your miserable George Thomas please?

I would if I could figure out how to insert a photo.  In the meantime I will send the image to Jan and if she wouldn't mind posting for me, I would appreciate it.

Maggie, underneath the box in which I am inserting text right now is a hyperlink that says 'Attach a photograph or image (and other options)'. I have not tried the other options, but it is certainly very straightforward to attach a piccie. Try it, you may amaze yourself

Hi Marg
I've resaved your image as a jpeg - rootschat won't accept bitmap, that is probably why you couldn't post. Anyway fingers crossed here is George Thomas Carver and sons

Photo of William James Carver  bn 5 June 1848 St. Pancras d. 1921 Ickleton, Cambs, son of William Thomas and Abigail Carver nee Smith.   William James Carver, headmaster of Ickleton School, Cambs.    There are more photographs on the website www.ickletonvillage.co.uk but unfortunately at the moment the link to the photo archive does not work.

William Thomas Carver was the son of Samuel and Sarah Carver nee Colwell.  Samuel, a draughtsman, was the son of Thomas Carver (wife as yet unknown).

 Thomas was the brother of Samuel Carver, map engraver of Bowles and Carver, cousin of The Rev. William Carver of Melbourne, Cambs.

Hi Barbara
The link is working fine now.
We really need some clever person to isolate all these Carver faces and post in a row for comparison.
