Phil Sutters' photos with the keyword: 19th century

This tiny village with a population of around 500, puts on a concert in its school room and has this lovely poster to advertise it. That's the Victorians for you!

There is no indication of who this little girl was, but almost all the photos in the folder could be connected to English Bicknor or its residents. It is interesting to see the services that the photographer offered.

This could be Edith Sutters who married a Mr. Griffiths, she was William & Fanny Sutters daughter. 1879 - 1950

This is the mother of Lucy, who married Thomas Daniel Ivins.

Another studio portrait for the July VPTP theme.

A partial view of Edgar Griffiths in a family group photo in 1925 makes me wonder if these are Edith Sutters who married Edgar and Edgar himself. Edith was always a possibility but the man didn't ring any bells until I saw that group photo, with just the left side of his head showing.

Although it is tempting to jump to the conclusion that these are the Ivins sisters, Lichfield is about 85 miles from their home in English Bicknor. What would they have been there for? No relatives have so far been identified in that area. Equally why would their photo been in this group of photos if there was no connection? The girl on the right would have been Fanny Ivins and she does have a similar face to her portraits in later life. www.ipernity.com/doc/philsutters/50130442 in this group for example
