Default Can anyone see the pictures?

Lady Elizabeth Mabel Northcote/Bruce

I have found a website that purports to have pictures of Lady Elizabeth Northcote/Bruce but I can not get the pictures to download.

Initially I thought the website was too old and I have PM'd Janet as I think she is the guru of finding old archives of websites to see if she could get the pictures.

However a second look makes me think that isn't the issue as the photos "are not secure". Firefox has blocked them and nothing I can do will unblock them. The bits I have to click on to unblock do not appear on my screen and I have updated firefox.

I've also tried chrome and edge but they are still blocked.

The issue is not the photos themselves but as they are not "secure" ie sent over http, rather than https, it is possible for hackers to hack somehow. Mind you as far as I can tell this website is also not hppts so I don't know why I can access this website.

What I want is anyone who can access the photos to screenshot them and email them to me, or post them here if that is easier/preferable.

Her tale is a sad one. She was an old spinster, over 30 years of age, second daughter of an earl. She appears to find love, not a marriage of convenience, marries her suitor, an older man, and travels across the world to Windermere, British Columbia. He starts to make a fortune and build her a beautiful house, while they live on a houseboat. She however died during WW1 of appendicitis due largely to a lack of doctors as all the doctors in the area had gone to the war. He is devastated and buries her on the property, even building the grave a decent shelter, both which still stand today. He later donates the house to the community and ironically, it becomes a hospital in her name. It is currently a culture and arts centre, although the property has been spoiled a little, in my opinion, by a cafe built in front of the property to enjoy the wonderful views.

She has touched my heart and I'd love a photo of her. The article has 2 - as a child and on her wedding day. Googling has failed to find others.
