September 2022 (#069)
Found posted online a new pic, allegedly of my gt-gt gran (see posts #059 and #060). I originally posted that I would love to verify (I had doubts) but that the family resemblance is there.
Marilyn Beale has helped crystallise the thought. Looking at other photos, I think it is more likely to be my gt-gran’s sister Isabel Jane in about 1915. She had married a businessman of Scottish descent, and had a son and daughter in Jersey before they emigrated to Australia in 1913. The daughter Dorothy (presumably pictured) married in Tasmania. The son was lost at sea there while shark fishing in 1945.
Incidentally, the exact dates for the family have been hard to pin down as they were methodists, and the records are yet to be fully digitised. Isabel’s niece, Estelle, married a Wesleyan minister, settling for a while in County Road, Swindon in the 1950s.
