All the photos fit to web
Here’s a quick round-up of where the scanned old photos have appeared on Cutlock and Co over the last few days. Posts on Oak River sledge (sleigh) ride to school – the ‘school van’ itself. Uncle Ernest the pharmacist (Ernest, Eliza, Jack Laddiman). Searching for clues to Ann Harriet Cutlock has a photo of her (as Granma Howes), as well as the 21st birthday bible inscription. Pages on The Neal family (same photos as ‘full 1900s attire’ post). Norwich and Norfolk – old pictures of two » »

Before they were married
This is currently my favourite old photo from the hundred or so ‘scanned in’ a couple of days ago. It is the only one just showing grandparents Sydney Howes and Emily Neal, and has been captioned “Wellington 1912”, a whole seven years before they married. I wonder who took it? Wellington, Shropshire was then the home of Emily’s older sister Eliza, who had been like a second mum to her, and had married Ernest Laddiman. Both Sydney and Emily were elementary school teachers – he started » »

The Neal family in full 1900s attire
Photos reveal a key fact
Photos reveal a key fact I really ought to be saving this photo for later, doing a big build up for an important item. But that’s not really my style. So without further ado, the entire Neal family, bar one, in 1902. The extended caption written at some point by gran (Emily) reads: “Taken 1901 or 2. The Neal family Laura (7), Henry (5), George (6), Eliza (4) Edith (8), Ellen (Nellie) (1), Mother, Father, Robert (2) Albert (11) Mary (Polly) (10), Emily (9) No 3 » »

Photos of great great uncle Sam, farmhand
So the ‘major scanning exercise’ is done, with about 100 old family photos digitally processed. Not quite as good quality as I hoped as Dad’s HP all-in-one scanner didn’t want to budge from 200 dpi but should be adequate. It will take some time to check them through, clean up and arrange all these, but images have already started appearing on old posts. I’ll try to include all of them in gallery pages eventually. This is a gallery test post, for which I’ve taken the family » »

Uncle Ernest the pharmacist
I’m preparing for a major exercise digitally scanning a whole lot of old family photos (first half of 20th century) so have been checking over my family history records of those I know feature. It might make it easer to organise the scans and make sure all relevant info is gleaned from attached notes etc. The Laddiman family from Shropshire certainly are in the mix. Ernest John Laddiman married my great aunt Eliza Neal in Norwich, 1905, and at the 1911 census they were living at » »
