8 September 1903
 

Sarah Barks and Joseph Reckless are the bride and groom. They were married on 8 September 1903 at St Giles, Balderton, Nottinghamshire

Sarah was the sister of my great grandfather George Barks although he and his wife Jane don't appear to be on the photograph. Jane was pregnant at the time so perhaps couldn't travel from Burton on Trent where George and his family now lived. Seated next to the bride are her parents George Barks 1837-1905 and Mary nee Pratt 1841-1918.

Any Barks or Reckless descendants out there who recognise anyone else please contact me.

This is Sidcot school in Somerset which is a Quaker establishment. My grandfather and his siblings and many distant cousins attended as students and my great-grandfather was a schoolmaster there.

In 1908, when the picture was taken, my great aunt would have been a pupil, but I don't think she is in this picture, or if she is, not at the front!

https://5erqpa.by3302.livefilestore....&cropmode=none

I can't think what they were doing was at all energetic!

Hmmmm think this needs tidying up a bit ! :d
I KNOW I made a start on it .......

Edinburgh - Shandon Place

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3Qr6SPqnHD...ames+front.jpg

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-g17mTRZU3g...ames+front.jpg

That's my mother's printing. The "ME" at top left is her. She's also top left in the second photo. She and her two sisters, Hilda and Amy, attended a little home-school class in Edinburgh. This would be about 1909-1910.

When we went back to Shandon Place in 1950 she found and spoke to her old neighbor and classmate Beatrice, and heard news of Beatrice's brother Archie, another classmate.

I'm sure they're all long since gone by now. The youngest was my Aunt Amy who was born in 1906. But if anyone has any qualms about living persons, take it off please and I will sanitize it before I put it back up. (I won't be back until tonight or sometime tomorrow.)

I'm afraid the quality has not held up. Is there any help for them?

My husband's maternal grandfather, Thomas Henry Evans (1887 - 1962) taken about 1908.

John Cheetham Goulson, Louisa and Edith by Glen TK2, on Flickr

This chap followed a family tradition in Lincoln, he had a grocery business and like his Grantham cousins it didn't go too well, The exact reason is unkown, rumour is that the shop takings were stolen and he was unable to pay his suppliers but that might be more rumour than truth, there are certainly no accounts anywhere to indicate the theft was reported to the police.

All Addresses are Lincoln.
1881 Census 32 Orchard St, Plumbers Apprentice
1891 Census, 38 Wellington St, Butcher
1897 26 Cheviot Street, plumber & glazier
1901 Census. 1 Motherby Lane, plumber/painter (worker)
1909 Kelly's Directory of Lincolnshire lists him at 108 Hewson Road.
1911 Adjudications and Public Examinations dated Feb and Mar show address as 108 Hewson Road and John trading as a baker/confectioner
1911 Census is 108 Hewson Road, occupation house painter.
1913 Directory of Lincoln City records him as a painter living in Fleet Street.
1919 Kelly's Directory of Linconshire shows his address as 22 Hewson Road

Walter Berry - maternal grandfather
 

Probably the 1900s. My grandfather Walter Berry is 3rd from right in the back row with the big ears. Don't laugh, they afforded him perfect pitch which I think he might have inherited through his mother's Pickles line from Cowling. Walter's full name was Walter Pickles Berry.

These are the men of the Ingram Organ shop in Edinburgh. Walter had completed a seven-year apprenticeship with the Laycock & Bannister organbuilding firm in the Glusburn / Crosshills / Sutton-in-Craven area of West Yorkshire where he was born.

In 1900 he married, and in 1905 moved his wife and two daughters to 5 Shandon Place, Edinburgh where a third daughter was born. The family archives are full of postcards from Walter working abroad in those days, many of them from Holland. In 1912 they left Edinburgh to settle in the United States.

The back of the photo is imprinted with "J. Anderson, 121, High Street, Dunbar" so perhaps a day's outing at the sea? A completely irrelevant aside: just across the street from the photographer's shop is the birthplace of John Muir who emigrated to the U.S. and became a renowned naturalist.

Sarah Smith nee Ware born Bucks died NSW
 

I can't get over the fact that when Sarah (who is my great grandmother) died in 1906, she was 65 years of age. This photo would have been taken not many years before... This large portrait hung in our home when I was growing up and I thought she was absolutely ancient ... now I'm not that far from that age .. I'm not ancient;(:D
http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/...ps1baed870.jpg

Julie, if you gave her modern clothes and a different hairdo she wouldn't look nearly so old as she has an unlined, young face.

She has a serene face .. not sure why after 14 children and four of them dying at a young age .. moving from Bucks to the remote Rocky River in NSW must have taken a lot of courage too .. she rode side saddle with kids behind as well!! .. the story goes that when the men left to do stock work that she dressed as a man so that it didn't look like there were no men there !!
