OLD Photos ... no longer with us!

Some photos of family members who had passed away, gone before us, gone to a better place ...

Looks like a good night out at the New Inn on Halifax Road, Todmorden. Left to right mum died 1982, George died 1989, dad died 1972: all others still with us!


Just look at this: a baby had been taken to hospital but had died. In the days of very few telephones etc, my auntie Emma, mother, was informed of the death by letter!


Another auntie of mine but one whom i could not have met since she died aged just five months old in 1895.Poor little Lily Williamson. Notice the memorial poem that is part of this in memoriam card that my granny and granddad had printed.



George, Judd, at the Queen Hotel, Todmorden. Christmas or New Year Party: he died 5 months after this photo was taken.
