Unfortunately, almost all of these photos are unlabelled and the identities of the people are unknown. Some may be friends rather than members of the family. If anyone has any suggestions about the identity of any of them, please let me know. John S. Summerwill

James Vickery appears in the 1881 census in Barnstaple as a photographer. Two of his sons, both born in the USA, were his photographic assistants. There is a strong likeness between this and Photo 1 of Mary Jane. The pinafore suggests she was still a girl. This photo could be of Mary's sister Lidia, taken about 1880 when she would have been 15. Lydia and her children emigrated between the 1871 and 1881 censuses. - JSS |

The writing on the top of the back of the picture. It appears to me to be Archis Rachie or Archies Lachie or perhaps Archies Ladie. Please note that both 3a and 4a were taken at the same studio, same furniture. This could be the second sister, Sarah Anne. - JSS |

There is a strong resemblance to William Thomas Summerwill's son, William John (see photo). This is probably one of William Thomas's brothers, John or James. - JSS |

I believe it is a photo of Lydia (Jr.) as it was taken at Bracebridge, Ontario. Bracebridge is some distance south of Banburry where Lydia settled but was at that time the nearest large town for shopping or business. The apparent age of the girl in the picture and the location lead me in this conclusion. |

This is a very important photo as I would guess that this is Lydia Summerwill. The resemblance to the girl in an earlier photo is quite striking. Are they the same person or Mother and daughter? A. Nelson, Photographer, Durham, Ontario. |

This reads F. McFadyen, photographer, Mount ForestThis is not only a mystery but an amusing mystery. He looks like he is pretending to be a pan handler (gold miner).Not only was he dressed funny (perhaps he was a miner, but I'm sure he did not have four feet. He must have been standing in front of a table. |
