img024.jpgI will be attempting to post some photos of my wife's side of the family " The Phillips's". I have tried to identify as many as possible along with dates, but should any forum member have insight/knowledge into any of the photos please feel free to add to them.

This first one is a family gathering to celebrate a birthday (don't know who's)

Back row: Henry Hardy, Frank Phillips, Sid Phillips, Harry Wellsbury, Tom Phillips, ??, ?? ??

Front row: Alice ( Franks wife) Lily ( Toms wife) Evangaline(??) Lily (Joes wife) Floss, (Albert's wife) Hilda,( Sids wife), Doris (Harry's wife), Laura (Henry's wife)

If this is successful, I will attempt a few more. If I have put it in the wrong place, Moderators please correct my mistake.

You may be right carolina, not really sure as to when or where it was taken.
Will add some more (proper) wedding photos when I figure out how I posted that one!!! Each time I try to insert the photo, it fills the screen and when I minimize the screen to see what has happened, it all disappears.
