Photo of my mum's family at my grandparents home in Colombo, Sri Lanka in 1948.  The occaision was aunt and uncle returning home after their honeymoon.

Great grandmother is in the middle of the first row
Grandmother (her daughter) is two to the right (as we lookat it)
Grandfather is immediately behind Ggrma, with 2 daughters to the left and one to the right.  The one who looks terrified is my Mum.
And the 4th generation is the little girl at the front, cousin Jenny

The others:
Uncles and their friends in the back row
Great-aunt to left of grgma
Assorted neighbours and friends.

And my Dad's first cousin, Randy Smith, on RH end of back row.
Standing in front of him is his fiancee, Miss Jones. :) :) :)

Hi all,
love the photos  ;)
this photo is a rare one, 5 generations of a female line.  It was even in the main Melbourne paper for that time.  Extremely unusual to get 4 let alone 5 generations of women or men in a straight descendant line.

It shows my gr grandmother, Mary Jane Brabon, bottom right,
her daughter Minnie, my grandmother, bottom left,
her daughter (my mum) Iris, back row left,
her daughter Beverley, my sister (back row right) and
her daughter Karen, my niece, sitting on Nanna's knee.

we have a studio pic (somewhere  ::) ) of 4 generations of the same family

cheers
