My friend has passed onto me a box of about 500 slides that her son picked up at a car boot sale in Chester about 10 years ago. Most are meticulously labelled with date and place and range from Scotland 1949 to Scotland 1975 but include holidays in many different places in between.
Tissington in 1969
Norway Skiing in 1970
Cruise including Venice Corfu Greece and Jerusalem in 1970
Austria in 1973
As well as San Francisco, Rome, Hawaii Honolulu without dates
There are also some weddings, birthdays, christenings and christmas’
They are beautiful slides some with family groups on them my problem is that there is nothing to say exactly where the family is from except the early slides seem to be Wales a lot and Chester Zoo (and they were bought at a car boot in Chester)
There are a couple of names such as Helen and Jacks wedding and what appears to be birthday of their daughter Claire 1960 but no surname. Or Diane Hulmes wedding to Eric 10 Dec 1966 (I can only find one Diane Hulmes marrying an Eric Lucas)
I will be going through them again when I have a couple of days off looking for other clues but would love to pass the slides on to the relevant descendants eventually
Surname interests Soundie, Brookfield, Healey/Heeley, Frost, Handley, Goodall Weaver, Evans, Pagett, Waywell/Whaywell, Haimes, Jones, Roberts, Cummins Ryder, Bleasdale and Foley, Jackson, Robinson, Calvert and Grayson.
Searching in Liverpool, Shropshire, London, Worcester and Holywell, Stafford and Cheshire. (and eventually in Ireland) :-)
