Hello all,
I'm seeking out descendants and relatives of Thomas Short (1826-1895), and Emily Alice Allbutt (1824-1897) who lived out their lives in Birmingham.
Thomas was an Iron Caster and Emily was the daughter of Joseph Allbutt, a toy maker.
There is a beautiful album in our family belonging to their daughter Ellen Short (Fulford) (1857-1919), though sadly, nearly every photograph in it is unlabeled. We believe the album dates from c.1870/80's and contains photos possibly as early as the 1840's. It seems the subjects span at least 3 generations, and include, siblings, parents, aunts, uncles, in-laws, grandparents (and friends) of Ellen Short.
We have some good theories about who the images depict, but without anything to compare with we can never be sure.
By leaving this board up, I'm hoping to get in contact with anyone who might have photographs of this family (or know people who do), to be able to cross reference faces and identifying as many of the unknowns as is possible. It would be amazing to finally know exactly who each person is, and be able to share their photos with relatives.
Any info at all in this matter is greatly appreciated
Cheers
