Also, I’m sharing some of the many old photos I found within its pages.
There are still a couple more to come On Twitter and Instagram this week, but here’s some I haven’t shared yet.
The sender above is ‘LUCY is sending love to Dad, Mother and yourself TRIXIE‘, now Trixie it says is a shortened form of the given names Beatrix or Beatrice or Patricia or even just a nickname. So does this help anyone with identifying the family? I have so far looked at the 1891 census for Redruth, Cornwall for a Lucy with those variations of siblings and so far have found over 30 matches, none in Hayle. So over the next week, I shall go through and try and reduce that number if I can. It would be nice to have a possible match, wouldn’t it?
Please could everyone with Ancestors from Cornwall, please take a careful look at the faces on these photos. Do they look familiar? Could they belong to your family? I would love to identify them.
Till next time then………..
My favorite photos are the two cdvs that show the same little boy wearing the same outfit in a posed studio setting and then in a candid outdoor shot.
