Just some dry facts this morning. It's a gorgeous day and I must get out and work in the garden before the thunder and rain forecast for this afternoon blow in.
This beauty in the photograph is George's and Isabella's firstborn child, Alice Mabel Adams, known in the family as Gangan, stemming from the inability of a child along the way to say 'grandma'. She has quite a look of one of my nieces about her.
In order of their appearance in the family, here are my Great-grandmother and her brothers:
Alice Mabel Adams, b. July 4th, 1880 (d.1964, Bournemouth)
Samuel Hyde Adams, b. January 1st, 1882, d. 1958
William Pitt Adams, b.October 24th, 1884
John Adams, born and died November 3rd, 1885
Frederick Harold Adams, b. March 26th 1887, d. 1957
Leonard Stewart Adams, b. December 13th, 1889
Reginald Augustus (or Augusta?) Adams, b. July 23rd, 1892
Two notes:
Here is the other William Pitt Adams, "Uncle Bill", who did live and breathe, and went off to Australia. More on him when I get the facts. I have some photographs of him that are most intriguing. Hopefully there will be some Aussie relatives that we know more about.
And another item I have found is the record of a Caroline Hyde Adams on the St. Clement's Church burial list, who died 7 March 1890, aged 16 months. George's mother was named Caroline Hyde, so this little girl is quite possibly a niece?
