This is my father's paternal grandfather, Samuel Charles Burchill, 1855-1921 with his wife and six children. The photo was taken about 1900. Samuel lived in Bristol and was a train driver for the Great Western Railway. It is said he drove the first passenger train through the Severn Tunnel, but I don't know if that's true.

I don't have a photo of my father's maternal grandfather!
