Holt / Searle / Gapper / Legg families Chideok area
« on: Tuesday 02 June 20 06:55 BST (UK) »
The attached photo was taken in 1938 during my parents' honeymoon in Dorset. My mother is on the left of the photo but I have no idea who the other people are.
I have other photos showing members of the abovenamed families who are relatives through my mother's grandmother, Emma Holt (1857 Charmouth - 1937 Gosport). She married James Lacy in Parkstone in 1882. The Holts are related to the Searle, Gapper and Legg families through marriages of some of Emma's sisters. Others married into the Hodder, Hawker, Trim and Charles families so the people in the photo may even be from these families.
This is a very long shot but does anybody out there recognise any of the people in this photo?
Many thanks for your help.
Adams, Bamber, Cleverley, Earwaker, Frake, Holt, Lacy, Laming, Levett, Lipscomb(e), Newlyn, Pett, Smith (Hampshire); Hill (Alverstoke and Middlesex); Holt (Dorset); Lacy (London, Kent)

Can I suggest that you contact the Dorset Family History Society?  I am sure they would be happy to print a letter and the photograph.
