Interesting Pictures from the Past

John Rawden's family dating back to the early 1900s
Clicking here will go back to index
|
When John M Rawden's Aunt Hilda died sometime in the early 90's, as one of John’s surviving relatives he inherited some of the family photographs. John made regular monthly visits to Hilda, when she resided in a nursing home in her final years. We're trying our best to work out who is related to who but we only have a few names on the back of photos and what John can recall from memory. We'd like to think she'd be proud of her contribution of this handful of photos to the Internet, being a prolific resource to Genealogists and this collection may help any researcher interested in, or related to, the Rawden family from Ilford, London. Information presented cannot be guaranteed as accurate and we welcome any communication to help build up a more detailed family profile. Although 75 years young, John M is in great health and he attributes this to his vegan diet and regular exercise. Contact us on hoof_bagz@yahoo.co.uk Please ref: JMR. |

owing to a 'touch-up' error at the printers: much to the extreme disappointment of John's mum.
