Thanks Phil . We're trying to see who is in the photo asides my Nan. We think the chap behind her might be Norman Betteridge, or Frederick Faulkner. Possibly her sisters Eve, Renee, and her parents. Lena, and Charles - but it's pure speculation at the moment. The Faulkners lived at 77. I wonder...
Hi Phil ,
Thanks for the photo - I'm sorry to ask for favours, but this image has been a bit of a quest. The chap behind my nan in the daisy pinafore dress ( just his face), i'm really interested in.
Is that the absolute best resolution ? - was curious if my nan was showing a ring on her...
Amazing thank-you. Is it dated? , anymore like it ? - It looks like my nan Mary Faulkner / Ne Betteridge in the pinafore with the Daisy on the knee. That might be my Grandad behind her - if it is it's the only known photo of him,
Hi Both,
My Nan , Mary Faulkner , Nee Betteridge is the daughter of Lena Burtenshaw I have a photo of Lena) and Charles Betteridge. She married Frederick Faulkner.
Although Taylor is not unusual , Flora Taylor married my nans father Henry Faulkner of 77 Manor Farm Rd.
If theres a wedding...
Hi Peter , If it's the same Henry - he is also my Great , great grandfather - Sibling to William, George, and Sarah. - so you are related to Henry, Emily, Hannah, Alice, Beattie. or Arthur - Desperate for photos, especially Henry. Steve
HI Where's Cowper St in relation to Manor Farm Rd, I have lots of Faulkners ( your spelling falkner?) , Causer is my Grans Great Grandmother. Picture of the sweet shop would be fab. Whereabouts is it please?
Hi Sheila, I think Betteridges was my great uncles shop. He was Norman, had a brother Arthur, and a sister Mary , my Grandmother. Mary married Frederick, my grandfather who died during the war. - Desperate to find a photo of Frederick.
