Uploaded for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of: SCREENS - INDOOR, OUTDOOR, ANY KIND A glass plate negative from my most recent purchase. Found and bought in East Middlebury, VT

I am transcribing Ada's 1915 - 1919 diary at www.adamaygrimshaw.blogspot.com

A little mottled but still a sweet portrait of a pleasant faced woman. Found in Vermont - no markings.

Taken in Ulverston.On the back it says Jones Bros. Dragley Beck Lane (great street name!) Ulverston I'm guessing he's 5 in this picture making it 1900.

Mary was Harry's mother but there is some mystery about her name. The story was that she married someone called Algernon Dodson but somehow he left the picture and she reverted to her maiden name. My skeptical mother-in-law told me this story believing (I think) that he was illegitimate. According to her, this side of the family considered themselves "a cut above" so it probably mildly galled her. I have done some fairly surface searches for Algernon but have never come up with anything. For all I know it could be a true story - one more thing to do when I have time! Born in the early 1870s to James and Mary (Polly) King. One of my children's Great Great Grandmothers. The Boys>Brian>Ron>Harry>Mary King.

My husband's grandfather. Probably taken in Ulverston. This is a large portrait, about 61/4 by 81/2.

I've always liked her intelligent, sensitive face.

Edna was the second sibling and the oldest sister. She is the little girl in the photo titled "Stamford Hill" in my photostream. This picture, like the other Earp pictures, was sent from England to Australia and then to me from Erin (Earp) Hobson. She looks very serious but my mother remembers all her girl cousins as loud, lively, warm and very funny.

Ivy Earp - a little less glam but still striking. Sent to me by Erin Hobson in Australia. Originally sent from England to Ausralia sometime in the 1920s. Ivy's brother Edwin had emigrated there and relatives sent pictures from home.

Olive was the third sibling and second sister. My mother remembers her as the most "refined".

Found photo. Written on the back: Pill - E. Hewitt - died April 2nd 1875 aged 81 years So, amazingly, this man was born in 1794. L. M. Rice, Photographer Warren, O. Posted to the Vintage Theme Park group for "Old Age".

Fred Grimshaw of Springfield or Perkinsville, Vermont about 1894. Ada Grimshaw Illingworth's brother.

My mother about age 17 - 1941.

For the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of "Painted Backdrops". Inscribed on the back: "To Will from Ethel 1918" This was to her oldest brother William Gregory - my Grandad.

Arthur George Gregory. Taken when he was about 10 or 11 which would make this about 1930 or 1931. This was a school picture I believe.

My mother Hazel in the middle .Taken in the early 1930's.

Another picture sent to Australia to the Earps and then to me. I love the sweetness of this picture. My Auntie Pearl was a lovely person -a strong personality and a great storyteller with a wonderful laugh. I used to love to visit.

Jane Major is my Great Great Grandmother. She was born in Buxhall, Suffolk in November 1819 and she died in Stowmarket, Suffolk in Jan - March 1912 at the age of 93.(Free BMD says she was 96.) in a poorhouse - although I think she had worked there when younger. She was the daughter of Henry Double and Susan Purr also of Buxhall, Suffolk. She married William Major and they had 4 children one of whom was my great grandmother also called Jane born in 1853. She is one of my children's Great Great Great Grandmothers. The Boys>Deborah Lundbech>Hazel (Gregory) Lundbech>Marie Rose (Hellyer) Gregory>Jane (Major) (Davys) Hellyer>Jane (Double) Major
