MoChara, the research will through up all sorts of interesting stuff. My sister has been researching our old mans family lately, and we found in the 1920s that one of his uncles got life for armed robbery! Now dad hadn't heard about that 'til our kid found it in the local rag. He had other dubious contacts as well. Great post Marshman

This one is a lot more recent but still old enough got to early 1970s so forty odd years ago , a couple of cousins . So from the first picture to this one were still hunting so I think it must be in the blood lol

Now that picture, old or modern, is just about the best kid picture thats ever been put up on this site IMO.

 

The sheer joy of them youngsters tells how much that hare meant to them.

 

Thanks for putting it up.

Brilliant pictures marshman. Got a couple of my Granddad, who also served in the 1st world war in the Royal horse Artillery. He hauled timber with horses before that.

Thanks for the pics :-)

Another great great grandmother Rayne Boswell on Epson downs on race day 1930 so the story goes she told the Kings fortune . I reckon big hats must've been the fashion of the day for ladies lol.

I bet your not as well dressed as your old boy when you go after foxes lol

Big hats where the fashion back then Marshman but don't forget, to get a photograph took then was a rare and special thing, few people ever got them taken. So everyone in all those photographs are dressed from top to toe in their Sunday best. Whatever would people think if they wernt..!

A fantastic historical record you have Marshman.

thank you ! From what I've learned the younger lady or rawnie in the wagon isn't a traveller you can tell the difference by the hats ,she is wearing a more fashionable discreat hat for the 1930s whereas my ancestor is wearing a more larger affair which was more bolder to stand out in a fair ground .
