The Ward family c1915

Father: John Ward b c1876
Mother: Annie b c1876
Son: Ernest b1905 Nelson, Lancashire
Daughter: Edith (Edie) b 11 Sep 1908, d 1999 Burnley

Sadly, I think I'm the only person with an interest in this photo, Edie married my great uncle Robert Kershaw and they were unable to have children (but was a wonderful great aunt to me & came to my wedding). Ernest had one son, Michael, but he died without children, so there are no blood relations that I know of.

It is the Oliver Whitby Bluecoat School in Chichester, though we don't know why it's in our family (from West Wittering about 7 miles away), nobody recognises anyone in the picture.

It's a postcard style photo with a small rubber stamped label reading "The Westgate Studio, 40 West Street Chichester" on the back. I don' know the date, but would guess between 1910 and 1920.

Merry 01-09-12 21:16

This is the Art Studio at Sidcot School, Somerset during WW1. The master standing on the right is my great-grandfather, Henry Robert Clark.

This one is of one of the many Bass Brewery trips to either Scarborough or Blackpool I would imagine. Bass paid for their employees for a day trip to the seaside every year. Sometimes almost 20 carriages would leave Burton Station.

I bet there was a few crates of beer aboard. :D

I have no idea if any family members are amongst them.
