Mum

I have been going through a suitcase full of old photos from both sides of my family. Sadly there are an awful lot of faces I cannot put a name to and have no one to ask. I have had some laughs and a few tears and also a few puzzles. This photo I guess was taken by my Dad in the mid to late 30's. There is nothing written on the back and I'm having a hard time making out what the letters are at the top right. But the biggest puzzle is that it has been torn off possibly a strip of photos. Who were the others of, why torn and not carefully cut? I'll never know.

don't ever despair - I had a rummage with an older cousin through her family pics and we could make little progress with IDs. About 5 years later, I stumbled into another cousin I hadn't know existed via the web and between us we worked out virtually the whole family tree, illustrated

Like Laine I can see the resemblance. It's a lovely photo of you mum.

I see the resemblance in you and your mother...it's frustrating not having answers I know.

...chromatic.

I know what you mean about the faces. I have some like that, and also have a torn off one too! It's of a school play where my mum was at the end, so maybe that was a cheap way of sharing photos within the group!
