Another glimpse into the past

Unfortunately, this is just a scan from a scan on plain paper. However, I might sometime try scanning a better copy that I came across a couple of days ago, that was printed several years ago on photo paper. (Later: tried to replace this post with a better version but it won't let me do it). I have to go out shortly for the whole morning and maybe part of the afternoon, but will list everyone in this old photo later. Back row, standing, left to right: 1. William Henry Carden - brother of Alice Gladwell Bassindale (nee Carden), my paternal Grandmother. He was 9 years younger than his sister. 2. Daisy Elizabeth Carden (nee Jinks, 1884 or 1885-1964), wife of William Henry Carden. They were married in 1908, in Peterborough, England. 3. Vera Gladwell Bassindale (later, Handforth). This is my Auntie Vera. 4. Kathleen Joan ("Joan") Carden, daughter of William Henry and Daisy Elizabeth Carden. Born in 1914. 5. Tom Carden Bassindale (my father), born in 1907. 6. Alice Mary Bassindale ("Molly"), my father's sister, 1904 - 1967. She never married. 7. Alice Gladwell Bassindale (nee Carden), my paternal Grandmother. 8. Albert Elijah Bassindale, timber merchant, my paternal Grandfather. He and Alice Gladwell had four children - Mollie, Tom, Vera and Nora. Seated: 1. My paternal Great Grandparents, Reverend Henry Carden (born 28th December 1850) and Eliza Jane Carden (nee Shadick). She was born about 15 miles from Nettlestead, Kent, England. Sitting in front: 1. William Henry and Daisy Elizabeth's son, Philip Ewart Carden ("Phil"), born 1918. I believe they also had 3 older children: Eva Mary Carden ("Mollie", 1909-1965), Henry John Carden ("Henry John" or "John", 1911-1970), and Kathleen Joan Carden ("Joan", 1914-?). Philip later married Violet May Lumley of Gravesend. 2. Nora Bassindale, my father's youngest sister. Apparently, the photo was taken in front of a rustic shelter, which was covered with roses in their (whose? My grandparents'?) garden in Green Road, Hall Green, Brmingham, England. Reverend Henry Carden and Eliza Jane lived a few hundred yards away in Sarehole Road, Hall Green, Birmingham, England. My brother (John Carden Bassindale) thought this photo may have been taken on 6th July 1925, which was Reverend Henry Carden and Eliza Jane's Golden Wedding Anniversary. If this is correct, Mollie would have been 22, and my father Tom would have been 18, Vera 14, Nora 10, Joan 11 and Phil 8.

Alice Gladwell Bassindale, my paternal Grandmother…

A colour tinted photo of my paternal Grandmother in her garden in England. My brother (who spent so many years doing the most amazing family history research, which I am now blessed with owning!) had written the address on the back of this old photo plus the date of c. 1937. I then had the bright idea to go to Google Maps, do a street view and, though I couldn't tell which of two or three houses it was, I knew I was looking at my Grandparents old home. It was a very strange feeling! To finish off, I did a Print Screen, showing the aerial view of the area plus a street level view. Fun to have. If I remember correctly, the only (or certainly the main) time I remember seeing my Grandparents was when we stayed with them (at a different address, in Bourne, Lincolnshire) for about six months when I was about 12 years old, while my Dad was away looking for a job. Address in the photo: 9 Baker's Lane, Streetly, Sutton Coldfield, England, c. 1937. Alice Gladwell Bassindale (born 1876). Between Between October 1900 and December 1900 in Middlesex, she married Albert Elijah Bassindale (Timber Merchant), my paternal Grandfather, at Grays Thurrock, Essex. Their children were Alice Mary Bassindale (known as Mollie, my Auntie Mollie 1904-1967), Tom Carden (my father 1907-1976), Vera Gladwell (1911-?), and Nora Margaret (1915-?).
