    Photographer at "6 The Parade" somewhere? Maybe Cattell family?

    Photographer at "6 The Parade" somewhere? Maybe Cattell family?

    Thank you, I thought the hats were distinctive and internet-searching made me place it to the 1890s but I am no expert and good to have another opinion that places it then. If it is my family they were all farming folk but one of the sons became an accountant and lived in Harpenden - the...

    Elmdon, Marston Hall And Bickenhill Village Surrounds

    Sorry, very late to this thread. I came here looking for information on Marston Hall, home to my great grand aunt Harriet Carter/Cattell. I am not sure when this card dates from - she married Herbert John Cattell in 1877 and possibly moved there then but the farm is only named Marston Hall on...
