Preview:One of the great fortunes of my family history research has been the passing down of the family photograph albums to me as family archivist. A very precious example is the album that belonged to my grandmother Florrie COLLINS and by her father before her, Edward Reeves COLLINS, who was a keen amateur photographer in the 1890s and 1900s. Unfortunately as is the case with most of these old albums, the majority of the photos are not annotated and we risk never knowing who these wonderful Victorian figures were. This is the story of how two photographs held enough information to track down those pictured, and to tell a little story of a pair of difficult lives.
Nestling in the album were two adjacent and similar photographs: Left: Annotated by my grandmother "Aunt Matilda", later "Mrs MILES, standing" and Right Not annotated but identified as "Mrs READ, sitting".
