There are still a couple more to come On Twitter and Instagram this week, but here’s some I haven’t shared yet.

Unbelievably this is the ONLY photo with any writing on! So frustrating! Is there a clue to the family’s identity on here I wonder?

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………..
