Relatives

no, you were looking at wrong photo...lol you should have been admiring mine...

These pictures are fab. I also love looking at old photos. I took some into work when we were doing about Victorians in our class. Must find them and show you sometime.

Here's a few of mine I've rooted out.

My Maternal Grandparents. (vile woman).



My maternal grandfather when about 17.



Mother at 21.



My Paternal Great Grandfather. The boy on his right (our left) was to become my Dad's dad. I never knew him.



My Dad. Taken about 40 years ago before he got all his gold rings on his uniform. He was a Coastguard.



Me. When I was 11 at Portland Fair.

aaah lovely lorraine , you can see the badness in the eyes of that woman at top ...shiver!!

She does looked 'hard faced' doesn't she!

These are my great great grandparents, William and Louisa both born early 1830s

This is my paternal Grandfather, all dressed up for a wedding.

I have to say that I'm absolutely LOVING all these old piccies! It's very tempting to pinch some of them to use in crafty projects!
Lorraine - your grandmother has a very hard mouth. No humour there at all. Your grandfather, by contrast, looks very gentle. Love the one of you with the monkeys!

I must have a delve and see what I can come up with too!

Two of Gramphs sisters

Oh - aren't they beautiful!

cor Lorraine, the maternal grandmother looks absolutely chilling.

Your mother was very beautiful at that age. shame her personality doenst go with it.

They are lovely pics hun. Cor look at the size of the waist on the lady in the first pic. Her waist is about as big as one of my thighs hehe. I love the olden day pics, the people look so smart on them.
