Find Ancestors

Are they slow to load?...(when clicked on)

Chris :)

I have to go out- just wanted to know if the photos are pasted down, or if they have any writing or dates on the reverse?

Success!! Link works, I'll have a look through them later. Well done :)

http://s61.photobucket.com/user/100diana1000/library/ - finally got photbucket to work - here is the link I think! these are all the photos in the album

no stress at all - just can't get it to accept a user name, so I will try the other one suggested :-)

Oh dear- I feel I've caused you more stress.

There are other free photo sharing UK sites.

yes a long drawn out process.............. but the end is nigh...............still might be another 12 months for the final bit of paper, it has only been on going since 2014! but will be very happy when it is sorted

oh :-D

Apologies! but still congrats (I think, judging by that smile)

how on earth do I sign up to photobucket??????????? I have entered my details so many times and it says the username is not available despite me trying every combination of letters and numbers under the sun :-S

no a divorce!

Congrats Di- a wedding?

I don't have an account but will get straight onto it! - by the way my name is Di - Jones is my surname (and soon to be ex surname!) :-D

Jonsey- if you have a flickr account, or photobucket account, you could upload them and share the link with us here.

No worries if you haven't, just an idea.

I recently helped someone on flickr who had uploaded an album that was found in her mother-in-law's garage. The lady was in Canada, but we were able to trace relatives in the UK, and share them with delighted family.

It is a lovely thing you are trying to do- many of us would love to have family photos.

Just as a note to all that are helping, the Album was at a carboot in Wimborne, Dorset, I bought it for £10 as I could not bear for all those photos to get split up, originally I was just going to keep it - just as a thing of wonder - it is a Solid old album and weighs about 3 kg! when I saw that there were photos of the same family in it, especially the shop one and the wedding one I just thought how marvellous it would be to reunite it with one of the descendants who probably have no idea the photos are still in existence, I for one would give anything to have old family photos - so that is my reason for starting this thread, and everyone has thrown their selves into it, it is truly amazing! <3 - as an afterthought the seller at the car boot could have driven miles to do the car boot, they are a regular there, and it is possibly from either a house clearance - or a job lot from an auction house

Possibly her sister? Alice Augusta? Is she recognisable in any of the other photos?

One of the photo's has Alice written above it......wish I could put photos on here for all to see

Just looking at the deaths for Emma and Herbert- I think these are likely them- Herbert moving to son's house in Salisbury after Emma's death:

Name: Emma M Brown
Birth Date: abt 1875
Date of Registration: Mar 1960
Age at Death: 85
Registration district: Portsmouth
Inferred County: Hampshire
Volume: 6b Page: 614


Name: Herbert W Brown
Birth Date: abt 1875
Date of Registration: Sep 1966
Age at Death: 91
Registration district: Salisbury
Inferred County: Wiltshire
Volume: 7c Page: 467

Not seeing Probate for either

OK- well sorted. I think we should discount him- especially as Emma doesn't appear to have been in the area at the time.

Re Walter F 1914 -

he may be the son of this couple, and not Emma & Bert:

Marriages Jun 1903 (>99%)
Atkins Christina Rose Southampton 2c 32
BROWN William Walter Southampton 2c 32

Herbert's death:

Name: Herbert John Brown
Birth Date: 30 Dec 1902
Date of Registration: Jan 1989
Age at Death: 86
Registration district: Salisbury
Inferred County: Wiltshire
Volume: 23 Page: 2078

Probate:
BROWN Herbert John of 11 St Francis Road, Salisbury, Wilts died 20 January 1989 Probate Winchester 10 March £21036

EDIT: There are two Herbert Js with the same birth date- so this might not be the correct one!!

EDIT again!! Seems to be correct death, the other looks to be Herbert James.
