About Photo Rescue!
This is one of
those projects which seemed like a
good idea at the time. I started Photo Rescue! in a fit of
madness upon seeing a postcard in an antique shop of two little
boys in cadet uniform (See 93/1 later). It seemed a shame to
leave them there when somewhere out there might be some descendants who
would give their eye-teeth for
such a photograph.
I already had a
small collection of unrelated photos
from when I was preparing my book Dating Family
Photos. Several photos found loving homes after people
recognized
them in the book when it was published. This encouraged me to
think
that perhaps I could find homes for other photos languishing in second
hand shops and antique shops, so I collected a few more. After I
started the project I was given a few more photos.
I intended to
recover the cost of the purchases and
the photocopying, postage and packing involved with distributing the
index and photos, but I occasionally found some resistance to the
notion
of paying for the photos, and the difficulty and expense of getting the
information
broadcast widely enough proved too onerous. The project went into a
decline.
Now, on the World
Wide Web, it is an idea
whose time has come! I can distribute the information more
easily, and reach a lot more people. However, there are still
costs involved, (recovery of cost price and outward postage and
packaging of photos), and I expect to be reimbursed for the cost of the
purchase of the photo and postage.
Most, but not all, photos cost under
$10.
Enquiries
Read
all of this Section before
proceeding
1
The index for the photos follows
this explanation, and the detailed descriptions of the photos are after
that in numeric order.
2 If you think you recognise a possible
relation you can email me
lenore.frost@optusnet.com.au for
further details, and I will let you know whether there are other
associated photos, and the fee for the photo.
3 PLEASE
DON'T email me to ask me
if I have a copy of Fred Bloggs your ancestor - if he isn't on the list
on this page, I haven't got him.
4 PLEASE DON'T ask me to keep
a lookout for a photo of Fred Bloggs, as I won't be keeping a list of
"Wants", nor is it likely that I would stumble upon the photo of any
particular
individual - or place, for that matter.
5 PLEASE
DON'T send me stray photos
you have which have no identifying information on them. If you do have
stray unidentified photos not belonging
to your family, my best suggestion is to send them to the Historical or
Family History society covering the area in which the photographer was
based - if the photographer's studio was listed.
6 PLEASE DON'T ask to browse
through the photos on the off-chance of finding a relative. I
don't have the time to give to non-specific enquiries.
7 I DON'T give advice about
photo restoration, nor how to do it, nor where to go to get it done.
My apologies to
anyone who wouldn't dream of doing
anything in items 3 to 7, but I have had these enquiries in the past,
and I haven't the time to deal with them.
All that being
said, check out the index. If
you don't see anything there, do go and browse through the descriptions
at the bottom of the page, as there are further clues contained therein.

Brian Townsley suggests
that Harold Townsley
might be the "son of Joseph &

Feb 1888 in Bradford, Yorkshire - probably
at 18 Heaton Road,
Manningham, Bradford." For further

comments re this photo "most
likely relates to the
Lister's Woollen Mill in Manningham, Bradford
-
the largest in
the city (in the days when wool was a major industry
for
Bradford
and the local newspaper listed Australian wool
prices on a
daily
basis!)
This would tie in with the address of Harold's
parents."

"Sincerely yours, C Galt,
14-11-14". AIF
corporal
with spurs, fair-haired man in twenties.
The AIF Nominal Roll shows only one Galt who
enlisted
as early as 1914, Lt Charles Galt, 8th F.A.B. He
enlisted 18/8/14 and Returned to
Australia 3/7/19.
The AIF Nominal Roll gives the highest
rank achieved,
so the Lieut. may have started off as the
Corporal in
the photo. National Archives
records show a Lt
Charles Galt, Place of Birth, Rushworth,
Place of
Enlistment, Maribyrnong, next of kin,
mother, Mrs W
Galt. He may be the Charles
Galt born Rushworth, Vic

ALBUM 102/03
NELLIE
TAYLOR'S ALBUM, 1870s & 1880s
Six of the
photos
mention "Nellie", and one Mrs Taylor, so at a
guess the
album belongs to Nellie
Taylor.
Contains a
large
number of photos taken in Melbourne, Sydney,
Adelaide,
Brisbane, Wellington NZ,
Dundee,
Newport Wales. Most of
the named
photos appear to be friends rather than family.
"With love to my dear friend "Nellie", Susie
Jinkins, 29/3/82."
This is
a photo taken in
Melbourne
of a young woman of about 30.
The Victorian BDM shows that Susannah Williams Lloyd
married
William Angus Jinkins in 1880.
Three
sons were registered:
William Thomas, in Melbourne in 1881; Victor Angus
in
Melbourne
in 1884;
and Arthur Lloyd Jinkins in East Melbourne in 1888.
These
births
match up with the next two photos.
"With our boys love to Nellie, Willie Jinkins"
a young boy, taken
in Melbourne
in the 1880s.
"Our Boys July 1884 with fondest love to Nellie
from Susie Jinkins".
Taken in
Melbourne,
boys
aged about 6 months and three years.
"Yours Truly, EGD" A young woman
in her twenties, taken in
Melbourne in the 1880s.
"For Nellie, 1878". Taken in
Sydney
"To my sincere friend "Nellie", E Ryder, Nov

1870s.Two men of
about
35-40.

of about 25, taken in Melbourne in
the 1870s.

ALBUM 103/03
MISS EMILY CARTER'S ALBUM
Several photos
are
labelled "Emily" or "Miss Carter", so at a guess
the
album
belonged to a Miss Emily
Carter.
This is an album of predominantly 1880s photos, taken
in Melbourne
(Prahran,
Richmond, Emerald Hill,
Brunswick,
Hawthorn, Williamstown) ,
Sydney,
London, one from
Venice,
Birmingham.
UPDATE
Emily Carter
married Joseph Edwin Roach in Victoria in 1896. Emily
Roach, the dau of Henry
Carter and Mary King died in Williamstown
in 1902 aged 44. The
couple did not appear to have any children.
FURTHER
Joseph Edwin Roach
had previously been married to Maria Clark, in
Victoria in
1873. They had two sons born in Williamstown - George
Edwin
Blackburn Roach (b 1879) and Hector Charles Roach
(b1885).
A photograph of a man of about 40 and two boys with
something like
a five or six year age gap was taken in Williamstown in
the late
1880s, and would appear to be Joseph, George and Hector
Roach.
Inside the album is a loose
scrap
of paper. One one side is written in
black ink, "Mr
J Roach,
135
Abbey Road, Abbey Wood, Belvedere,
Kent,
England." On the other
side
it says "Cousin Lillie Cox in Bermondsey,
Birthday Novr
10th. The 1881 and
1901
English Censuses failed to yield
any clues
about Mr Roach, but the Coxes
appeared,
and with data from the
Free BDM, this
seems to be the family:
Edward Henry
Cox
married Margaret Winton in East Preston, Sussex in
1876.
Children:
Lillian
M Cox, b circa 1877, Bermondsey
Margaret E
Cox, b
circa
1879, Bermondsey
Edward W Cox,
b
circa 1880, Bermondsey
Chs.
Cox,
b circa 1883, Bermondsey
In the 1881
Census,
the family were living at 55 Southwark Pk Rd,
Bermondsey. Edward senior was a
Pattern
Maker (and M. Maker.) He was
aged 32,
and his
wife Margaret
26.
In the
1901
Census, the family were living in London, Edward's occupation,
Engineer's
Foreman.
Lillian was no longer at home, possibly married by
then.
Margaret junior was a Teacher in a
Board
School, Edward junior a
Chemist's
Assistant, and Chs. Cox was a "Comd Clerk".
"With Emma's love March 15th /87."
A photo of a young woman of
about
20-25, taken in Melbourne, 1887.
"With Clive's love", boy of about 10,
taken in Sydney in about
1888-90.
"With Arthur's love", a boy of
about 8, a pair with the above, and
presumably brothers.
Two photos from Head Studios, Regent Street, London, circa 1880s.
"Grace for Miss Carter",
a girl of about 10-12.
"M J Mare for Miss
Carter." A woman of about 50.
I take these two to be mother and daughter. However, can't track them
down
in either the 1881 or 1901 Census. There is a Free BMD death
entry for a Mary Jane
Mare,
aged 58, at Pancras in 1900.
