Identification of places on Cartes de Visite - Page 34
« on: Wednesday 29 January 14 22:36 GMT (UK) »
I have posted Page 34 of an album of Cartes de Visite collected by my grandmother's grandmother, circa 1865 onwards.

This page holds 3 Cards of places  - the first (35A) is of the "Old" Bridge at Burton-upon-Trent (I believe), but I don't recognise the other two, 35B and 35C- the fourth Card (35D) is of the lady herself !

She was born Martha Hammond Wright, in 1806 in Sheffield(?) though her family came from Eyam, Derbyshire, where she married Robert Thornewill on 22 April 1840, whereafter they lived in Burton-upon-Trent.

So those two unidentifed cards may be of Eyam or Burton - or somewhere else completely !

Unfortunately the "system" won't allow me to upload those pix again, so please visit that other location here:-  http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,674544.0.html
and reply either here or there.

Do you recognise either ?

Hi Ray,

You just need to change the title of the photograph to something different, you can not upload two photographs with the same name  ;)

Regards

Sarah

Thank you !  This is the only pic I have (from an old brochure), and I didn't recognise it.  From this pic I had assumed that there was a long garden or park behind the photographer - from 34C it seems he had his back to the garden wall !

If you use Google street view and take a wander along the main road running through Eyam, you'll be able to see the hall much as shown in the photo.

So you do !  Thank you very much !

Wikipedia, on the other hand
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eyam_Hall
shows that there is "park" the other side of the road, so I guess perhaps when the house was built              in 1671, the park was probably continuous, without the road being so obtrusive.

My father and his brother took my brother there, and were cordially received by the owners, the WRIGHT family, of whom my father's mother's father's mother was one, probably born in that house (in 1806).
