  1. Hi you have a picture my grandmother on your site ellen francis lidford on the wedding photo the girl sitting down on the right hand chair. I have a copy of that photo in my care . I was wonfelrong if you could give me some info

    • Hi Martin! Thank you for leaving a comment. I am so happy that you have identified one of the “mystery” people for me! I just checked and see that comments on the photo were inadvertently closed – probably during some update or other. So Ellen Francis Lidford was your grandmother and is the girl seated on the right? What is her relationship to the bride? I wrote several posts as I tried to identify the people in the wedding photo. The groom, George Elgy, was my grandmother’s cousin. Can you identify any of the others or confirm my suspicions?

  2. Hi i think they were cousins i will try to get more info ,the old gentleman and the rear with the moustache is thomas lidford my grandmothers father they were from houghton le spring my grandmother was born in 1905 so the dates probably fit .
