Relatives

Scanned and emailed these to relative found through family tree hunting, and thought you might like to see them. They are my Great Grandparents on my Dads, mothers side of the family. They knew how to stage a photo back then lol.

Their skin always looked so lovely.
Love the slug balancer.

slug balancer?????????????????????? what is THAT?
i would ahve loved to have been around in this era , i adore the clothes

Yes Suzy, would be good to see others. Must scan some of my other lot.

Fabulous pics, Di. I love looking at old photo's like these. She was a stunning looking woman.

Kim, I think a slug balancer is a moustache,

oh thats what it is , thanks lorraine , oh yes a fab slug balancer indeed

Thanks for the slug balancer explanation - never heard that - kept looking
at the photo wondering what you were on about.

Great photos. I recently did a LO about my grandmother - will put that on.

This is My Dad's Mum.

And this is my Mum - we think about age 12-14.

Lovely, Steph.

I might show you some of mine too.

your dads mum loks so beautiful Steph. nice to see these. If Patty isnt careful i will put one of her as a girl up.

They are lovely Steph.
I am going to try and put my lot into a book, with any relevant certificates etc as I collect them.

A slug balancer, is indeed someone sporting a large moustache as in Black Adder goes forth.
Love the paper piercing, and those papers. This is going to be a terrific album.

lovely pics steph , i love that lace blouse on your granny

couple more pics, these are my Grandfathers parents. Much sterner looking pair, though the lady who showed me these originally said she was a lovely lady who was full of fun and loved children. Just as well as she had 12!! The last two were twins and the boy with her is one of them. She was 44 when they were born!

This is my mum and dads wedding, my gran is fourth from the right and my aunty Bell is the far right, dad is cocky wee fellow.

Do you mean the left Billie? Chaps are on the right.
Love the way your Dad is standing with his foot crossed over lol. And the dog was invited as well by the looks of it!
Great photo. What year was it?

The two weddings on here are two of my Grandads sisters, I love the outfits.
The couple top right are another sister and her hubby and the girl is their adopted daughter Betty(she was actually the daughter of another sister!). Betty is now in her 80s and is the person I got these pics from., she has a great memory and tells some lovely stories.
Sorry pics a bit small.

I always say the right as that being the people in the photos right LOL. it was around very early 30s

some great photos here , i love looking at old photos, even if i dont know the people in them , i adore the fashions

Great photos of your relatives.
Billie- I love the fact that the dog got into the wedding photo.

have you been sniffing stazon girl? where is dog in wedding photo?

Want to borrow my glasses Suzy ? It's right at
the front. You just wouldn't see that nowadays.

In Billies photo of her parents wedding, not the one you put on Suze!!

Aha - she was looking at the wrong piccy

I think it belonged to the bridesmaid, if I remember when I was a kid they always had one of that breed, and the reason it was in the photo was because it was taken on the street where they lived, that where the reception was.

Fabulous pics.

These are great I'm another who enjoys looking at old photos. Di the first pictures are so elegant, and it just shows photos don't tell the whole tale, if you hadn't been told differrently you might have thought the stern looking lady in the chair had a stern character.

Billie the wedding photo is great, love the dog and the fact that it's a bit more informal than some.
