    3. Hi, Underneath this lady's photo it says: "This female, whose name I don't know, but who looks very much like my Grandfather. I think she could be one of his siblings. She would be nee WOOLF. The photo was amongst other family photo's belonging to my late Mum." Im sorry I cant help identify the lady but I would like to tell you that after my mother died, I collected together all the photos in the house. I went on a "pilgrimage" to Leeds and visited various relatives Id never met. I took with me loads of photos and at each home showed them the photos I believed belong to their family. There was a photo of a gentleman who bore such a strong resemblance to my father's brother. At the house of my mother's cousin, she picked out that photo (which Id put on a separate pile believing it belonged to my father's family) the lady said "oh, that's a photo of my grandfather"!!! Moral of the story - show as many photos to our seniors, and not to expect the person to turn up in the family we thought they would.... Another nice story that I had on that trip was when I visited a 2nd cousin - his late father and my mother were first cousins through his father's side. I shared some photos with him, he picked one out and on the back it said "to Auntie Sarah, Love Celia and Howard" - Auntie Sarah being my grandmother. He exclaimed: that's my mother and I. Apparently his mother sent my grandmother that photo. How amazing. "Celia and Howard" had lost all contact with Howard's paternal family through a family disagreement. Howard grew up almost never knowing his father's parents and family. What a shame.
