Miss Ivy Beale of "Pen Tavi" Tavistock Devon
« on: Friday 21 July 17 01:31 BST (UK) »
The Warkworth Museum (New Zealand) has recently come into possession of a large number of photographs and we are trying to identify them. Many are from England and some of the later ones are from here in New Zealand. 
Alas we have no identification on any of them apart from such things as "to aunty losts of love" and the like.
There is a cutting, from an unknown and undated  news paper which reads:

"Mrs Ivy Beale of Pentavi, Tavistock Devon, England who with her mother Mrs J V Beale is spending the summer with Dr and Mrs  Charles R Vickery. They will leave this week for Dwight Illinois  to spend a week and will then join Dr and Mrs Vickery in Denver and from there will tour Yellowstone Park. En-route home the will stop at "The Craggs" at Estes Park and will return with Mr and Mrs Vickery to this city about the middle of September for an indefinite stay"

EstesPark I understand is in Colorado

Some of these photos can be found at the museums Facebook page which you will find here https://www.facebook.com/warkworthanddistrictmuseum/

Any help in this search would be appreciatted

Without knowing a date, looking for Mrs Ivy Beale, I found a Marriage June 1930 between Ivy G Marshall and Harold Beale in Plymouth (5b 647).
Then I found a marriage in Dec 1953 between Ivy G Beale and Joseph H Netherton in Plympton (7a 1405).

Re-reading the newspaper clipping, there is a Mrs Ivy Beale and her mother Mrs JV Beale.  I would have thought that a married daughter would have a different surname to her mother. It is possible that there is a mistake and she should be Miss Ivy Beale, or the mother's surname is incorrectly written as Beale too ... or, less likely, Beale was Ivy's maiden name and she married a man with the same surname?  :-\

There is a birth for an Ivy Gwendoline Marshall in June 1907, which may fit with the above marriage/s.

This family appear to be in Plympton in 1911. Mother is Emily May and father is William (a grocery porter) - so no initials of "JV" to fit with the mother in the newspaper article. There are 9 children in this family so it doesn't look likely that they could have afforded a world trip on grocery porter's wages.

I think I must have been on the wrong track with that idea.  :)

There are a few births for Ivy Beales in Devon, but without any idea of dates, and without knowing if Ivy is Miss Beale rather than Mrs Beale, it will be difficult to work out which is "your" Ivy.

Thanks for that in this particular case there is not much I can add, the cutting included a picture but it reads "lady on right" and because the picture was immediately ABOVE the item I did not post it also the reproduction was not good.   There is no indication of a date but in the context of the the item would assume it to be at least a UK paper and most likely a Tavistock one.

Thanks anyway  for the information it may come in useful if we find any further information come to hand.

Any genealogist would give there right arm for these pictures.

Regards
