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

Date of Registration: Mar 1960
Age at Death: 85
Registration district: Portsmouth

Name: Herbert W Brown
Birth Date: abt 1875
Date of Registration: Sep 1966

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

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

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.

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

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

AustinQ

AustinQ Report 20 Jun 2017 12:33

oh :-D

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

Dianad Report 20 Jun 2017 12:35

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

AustinQ Report 20 Jun 2017 12:36

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

There are other free photo sharing UK sites.

Dianad

Dianad Report 20 Jun 2017 12:46

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

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?

The photos uploaded very quickly, all but the first photo has been stuck very firmly

They load pretty quickly Chris- If you have an ad blocker you'll need to turn it off to view them.
