And the pix with their informative presentations are super. Following from Great Grandmother Maria through your mother, & you, I think the eyes have it. There is a definite resemblance there. And Jenny with those crimped waves brought back memories. My Mom had a couple of crimping clips & I actually used them in the 50's for fun.

Re your point about Spanish Armada sailors, I cam across a small local history on Hambleton, where Maria was born and that referred to a similar incident of shipwrecked Spanish sailors settling there - but it was not from the Armada but a century later in 1660. So the jury is out!

My Great Grandmother looked to be in her 60s in a photo but when I turned the photo over, it showed the year and her age as 45! She lived until she was 86 but must have had a tough life and certainly dressed like an old lady even when she was 45.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06636761469099608281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427560122717203300.post-11493011796223509382013-05-24T13:53:32.932+01:002013-05-24T13:53:32.932+01:00You're so lucky to have this series of photos....You're so lucky to have this series of photos.Boobookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01395043246338753023noreply@blogger.com
