o I found some photograph albums in an antique shop in Hampstead, London, England. I have no interest, except hoping to find the family they belong to. They are a veritable treasure trove for anyone interested in this family, from the 1880s on. -- Book 1. Large leather bound, decorated album from the 1880s. Names mentioned: Grandma PERCY, Lizzie - George's wife, A A ETHERINGTON Dec 1884, Bert PERCY, Emily LIVERMORE - my friend, Arthur ETHERINGTON, Jack COALES, Mattie COALES.
