I thought they looked to be a different shape.

Hi Carol, I think the locket worn by Susan is turned at a slight angle making it appear more oval.

You could be right Jool but this is what I thought she could be wearing.

I thought that he might have served in the same regiment as his brothers,if one of their records could  found.I'm fairly certain I can find a Chelsea Pensioner record for Harry,who served in The Artillery(R.H. & R.F.A.),but no others.Highly speculative of course.

Thanks Roger, I was wondering if that was the case - I have harry's records. But i cannot find a Jess,jesse, or jessie serving in the same regiment. Thats an interesting find re the locket of Queen Victoria. I've been out with the dog and haven'tmanaged yet to take a look at the originall copies sent to me

Highly unlikely,but is it possible that this is a photo of Harry Green and his daughter Jessie,born 1916?
Perhaps the "wound" marker is consistent with a Chelsea Pension?The person looks a little old to have been born 1897.Just a thought.

You never know, you could be right Roger.

Birth of Jessie below:-

GREEN, JESSIE       EMERY 
GRO Reference: 1918  J Quarter in NORTH WITCHFORD  Volume 03B  Page 751

Jessie had three siblings:-

Births Dec 1915   
GREEN    George H    Emery    N.Witchford    3b   812   

Births Dec 1916 
Green    Ella M    Emery    N. Witchford    3b   798    

Births Sep 1919 
Green    Alfred W    Emery    N.Witchford    3b   703

Could Ella be a contender?

Not Queen Victoria Carole, a Victorian picture locket. I have a rose gold double sided one a bit bigger than the one shown. That's what drew me to it.

The record for Harry Green says he enlisted in 1910 and was discharged in Feb.1911,prior to the census on payment of £10.
I can't find any evidence that he later re-enlisted,though that doesn't mean he didn't!
On enlistment he apparently had scarring on the tip of his ring finger.

Thanks Girl guide,
Dont think she's from Harry's family. Would make the picture later. Plus they kept themselves very much to themselves.
