Guernsey 1889 / 1900 - photo in Keepsake

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Howard Report 17 Aug 2015 15:12

I have a group photo of several people sitting on a Charabanc. I believe the photo was taken on Guernsey (at St. Peter's Port) around 1889 or 1900. The woman in the front row marked X1 is Catherine Glenen Richards Smart and her husband, marked X2, is Thomas Baxter Smart. I am unable to identify, for certain, who the woman on the far right, marked X3, may be. The soldier in the background is William Baxter Smart. Other family members living on Guernsey at the time have surnames listed below.

Surnames that may be in the photo are Smart, Richards, Glenen, Chivret, Maindonald, Sauvarin, and Galliene.

As I can't attach a photograph to this thread I have located it n keepsake....I know this is a long shot but you never know.
