New photos of gg grandad and family

[Tom Tom]

Sadly, my Grandad's cousin died just over a year ago and had no family of her own.

At her funeral I was given a big old album of postcards and photographs which I will treasure.

Recently, I have been sent another hundred or so photographs from the early 1900s tracing the life of my great great aunt.

Here are four of my favourites -

L-R my great great grandfather, his grandson, my great great aunt, my great grandfather (driving)


My great grandfather on the far left with two of his sisters, their husbands and two of their children.



The family outside their house in Barry. Great Great Grandparents are the older couple in the middle. The lady on the far left was a family friend called Granny Edie and the others are all family members too.


My Great Great Aunt (who my Great Grandfather was very fond of) and the cousin who died was devoted to her mother.


I feel lucky to have these photos (and many more) but sad in the circumstances they came to me. I knew the lady who owned them and met her several times.
My Great Great Grandfather had the same name as me (apart from my middle name) so I feel a certain connection with him.


Just thought I would share
