The names on the back of this photo - Help please
« on: Thursday 27 October 22 22:23 BST (UK) »
Good evening, I wonder if these words could be deciphered?  I've got most of it:  47 Oxford Avenue: ???: Albert & Gladys (?) myself and ????.  Photo of near relations of my Paternal Great Grandfather.  Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks, interesting, Dorothy was my paternal grandmother, the lady of left I suspect is a sister, would you have any thoughts on the word starting with 'P'?  Thanks again.

Not sure but it looks Pris ? I thought it said Paris at first, but it looks like a person's name.

There are five people so you might expect five names?

...Priss.....Albert......Gladys......mysef....Dorrie.

And Priss might be....Priscilla?

Anything like these names in the family?

(unless, of course, the dog got a mention)

It does look like Pris/Priss. I've seen if used as a pet name for Priscilla

Yes that's what I thought, I have it before.

ok, the plot thickens :).  If I assume the child held on the right as you look at the photo is Dorrie b.1907, my Great Grandmother is likely holding her, Fanny Matilda Emerton and she does have a sister by the name of Margaret Pricilla Emerton so that sounds about right save they tended not to live in Wimbledon (Oxford Avenue) and I've not located an Albert yet, assume the child on the left is Gladys.

"Taken to remember their visit to Wimbledon"?   ;)

I agree with Priss (Priscilla)
