Photo albums, Sawyer family?
« on: Wednesday 18 May 05 10:23 BST (UK) »
I have just spotted these for sale on eBay:

If only they were my family – I would be over the moon.

A long shot perhaps but if anyone on Rootchat thinks they look familiar……

Well spotted Steph!

I've just contacted a couple of people on Genes Reunited who may have some of this family in their tree.

Now, if you come across any similar ones with Etheringtons in them... :)

what beautiful pictures, it's a shame things like this get lost from their immediate descendants.

I recognise the dog  ;D I had a dog which looked the spitting image of the one  in the photos, beautiful dog.
I hope you find the family they belong to, or the rightful owners/ family spots them .

It's always worth searching on ebay once a week with your family surnames in the searchbox ( and tick the search descriptions  box too) just in case there is something being sold there, I've had no luck so far, but maybe one day eh  :)

What super photo's.  Obviously taken by a keen photographer with a good eye.  Wish they were mine too.

Hope someone spots them and says Hey!  I know who they are......

My search was actually on my home town ie 'Folkestone' - and as you say Cell, it's surprising what comes up sometimes  ;D

There was another seller with a photo of a young lad after his first few weeks at military school too, perhaps I should have noted that as well but there were no identifiable surnames.

It would be a great shame for these to end up at the dump.  I get told off as it is about all my clutter, otherwise.....
