Thank you so much Trishanne. At one time I could actually see who was who but I've now spent quite a while peering at the figures and the only thing I know for certain is that neither my cousin Brian nor I are on the photo because we were on the opposite hill - he had the camera and I insisted on tagging along.
These are mostly my mother's side of the family, who joined us;- her siblings with their families, her cousins with their families and one or two best friends with families. A pity Uncle Herbert's motorbike and sidecar didn't quite squeeze fully into the picture.
When I started my family history a couple of decades ago, I managed to trace a couple of my mother's cousins. When mother's older 90 year old Cousin Ethel picked up her 'phone the first thing she quizzed me on after I'd introduced myself, was; "What is Millington to you?" After I'd given the correct answer, she remarked that she couldn't be too careful - I might be trying to scam her lol.
