Sunday Old Photos (1)

I have many old postcards in my collection, possibly nearing 2,000 now, luckily some have names and/or dates. They are all mostly real photos of people. So I thought it would be a good idea to share some on here in the hope that someone may recognise a face or a family even with just a snippet of information.

1
This gorgeous photo of a brother & sister is dated 18 June 1933, do they belong to your family?
2
Just a date on this beautiful photo of 1918, a photographer from Thetford, wonder who they are?
3
What a cheeky chappie!

Back view dated 29.12.1918 & with a cheeky message from Frank!

Dated 11 Nov 1913, photographers from Grimsby

5a
On the back of card: Clifonville, Margate August 1927. Taken while on holiday?
7
Says on the back ‘Taken 17 March 1914’
6

6a
Is 1927 when he was born or more likely the date of this photo & he’s 7 years old. Have you got Alan among your family ancestors?

Taken June 1919, who is this lovely family & do they belong to you?

If you have any information at all on any of these super photos please do comment, it would be great to find the families that these photos belong to. None are connected as far as I know.

Till next time then…………….
