Default Mary Ellen Yates nee Barks my paternal grandmother

Mary Ellen Barks 1897-1980

Early 1920's. The necklace is actually a photo of her fiancé at the time. She was engaged before she met my grandfather and apparently dumped him because he embarrassed her whilst in the market as he was commenting on ladies underwear.

Great photos Marg .. I can see family resemblance .. (I showed the girls at the library a photo of one of my greatgrandmothers today and they told me we have the same eyes .. a bit of poetic license lol..) I wonder if Rachel would restore the photo including you .. it is a shame that it is damaged, but it was obviously well loved by your father .. Julie

My maternal grandmother Lily Spence.

Probably 1931 somewhere in the Leeds area. Front row left to right: Uncle Jim Smith and Aunt Esther (nee Crampton), my grandparents Walter Berry and Lily (nee Spence). Aunt Esther was Lily's mother's sister.
On the back row second from left is Lily's sister Ethel Spence. I'm pretty sure the other three are some of Lily's half-siblings, the Wilsons. This seems to be a reunion of the siblings and half-siblings who grew up together in the Spence household in the 1870s-1880s.

My maternal grandmother Lily Spence on her wedding day 26 April 1900. She is front and center with her new husband Walter Berry.

Walter's family are the three in the middle of the back row, his uncle David Pickles, aunt Ann (I don't know if she had a married name) and his mother Emma Berry (nee Pickles), plus Walter's sister Maggie at front left with her future husband Charlie Johnson behind her.

Lily's family are her aunt Esther Smith (nee Crampton) on the left behind Walter and Esther's husband Jim Smith, back right, at whose home they are gathered for the wedding; plus Lily's full sister Ethel, behind Lily; her cousin Maggie Smith, a daughter of Esther and Jim; and her half-sister Emily Wilson, front right.
