Jasmine, aka Mummy's Mummy, nee Jackson.

Kate, Sheila, Marcus, Tessa, Tim and Mummy's Mummy looking at slides from Kate and Mummy's Mummy's recent trip to Halifax.

I have started interviewing Mummy's Mummy - while looking at photographs. As I transcribe the stories/information of each photograph I will add them to this page. So far I have two stories about 2 photographs. I will hopefully be adding to this page soon so please keep checking!

This is my grandfather who was a justice of a peace in Murry, his name was Ebenezer, which nobody ever called him by. Ebenezer Gladstone Mac George - everybody called him "Glad"; because his father had been friends with the great Gladstone and named his son after him; and he was of Belfast, but I can give you more information about him too. He is wearing his court robes to go to Dublin castle.

And this is my grandmother in her court robes going to Dublin Castle.

And there was another portrait, which I had which described about the green dress. See - Edwardian dress. Pale blue dress with taffeta bows of blue velvet says Mama. Black velvet hat with blue matching ostrich plums. And then there was another picture of her in a dinner dress of moss green velvet, which is gone.
