Looking for family photo of Grandparents
« on: Sunday 29 May 11 16:19 BST (UK) »
I am trying to trace any photos of my Grandparents, John Alfred Holborg and Florence Davison who were married on the 19th November 1923 in Sunderland.

any photos of either or both would be fantastic - many thanks

The best place to find photos is within your immediate family.  'Long lost cousins' can be a great way of finding photos, if you can re-establish contact.

RIP 1949-10th January 2013

Best Wishes,  Nick.

If you have access to Ancestry...there are members photos on there...just use the family name and area of research and you could get lucky.

You're welcome Christine..I would also change your title here to include the surnames you are interested in..if people Google that name it will bring them to this site....I have also had some success with family photos from Genes Reunited researchers too.
Good Luck!

Hi Carol

thanks again - I did manage to get a photo of my Granda as a young man in his WW1 uniform this way - it was very exciting... I will keep trying

best wishes
Christine
