Orphan Photos Identified!

Two of the Orphan Photos that I posted have been identified.

This first one is Roland John Salmon and he is my step-grandmother's brother. (I posted about him here).

This second one, is Roland's wife Ann Hornett (I posted about her here).

With luck, I'll be able to identify some others that I have.

(Not So) Wordless Wednesday - Orphan Photo #5

In going through a box of pictures that belonged to my mother, I've come across a lot of photos of people I don't know. I believe they might be friends and/or family of my step-father, Douglas Sinclair Kay. I'm posting these in the hope that someone might come across them and be able to identify them.

My Step-father was a Scout Leader for the 1st Storer Troup in St. Lambert, Quebec. This picture is of the Court of Honour and was taken on October 4, 1955. Written on the back is:

Left to Right:

A.S.M. Rod Eaves
A.S.M. Fred Horrell
J.T.L. Ian MacDougall
P.L. Clifford Macormack
P.L. Brian Denyar
P.L. Don Bunker
A.S.M. George Gage

Held at S.M. D. Kay's house.

On the bottom of the front of the picture is written: A Storer "Court of Honour".

(Not so) Wordless Wednesday - Orphan Photo #4

In going through a box of pictures that belonged to my mother, I've come across a lot of photos of people I don't know. I believe they might be friends and/or family of my step-father, Douglas Sinclair Kay. I'm posting these in the hope that someone might come across them and be able to identify them.


The older gentleman right in front (turning towards the camera) is my step-grandfather, Adam Sinclair Kay and the older lady straight across from him is my step-grandmother, Clarice Mabel Kay (nee Salmon). I don't know who the other people are.

This must have been taken at Adam & Clarice's house because I recognize that old grandfather clock in the background - we had it in our house all the time I was growing up. By the looks of their age, I'm guessing this was when they lived in St. Lambert, Quebec, but probably before my step-father married my mother so I'm thinking probably in the late 1950's.

(Not So) Wordless Wednesday - Orphan Photo #3

In going through a box of pictures that belonged to my mother, I've come across a lot of photos of people I don't know. I believe they might be friends and/or family of my step-father, Douglas Sinclair Kay. I'm posting these in the hope that someone might come across them and be able to identify them.

On the back of this picture is written "Ann, Plymouth Sound, Devon. July 1957". Because this was taken the same month/year and in the same place "Jack" from last week's post, I assuming they are related in some way. Mother and son perhaps? They are even wearing the same type of shoes!

If anyone recognizes this woman, please feel free to contact me.

(Not so) Wordless Wednesday - Orphan Photos (#2)

On the back of this picture is written " Jack, Plymouth Sound, Devon. July 1957". He sort of looks like one of my step-father's cousins, but I'm not sure as the only one of his cousins that I remember ever meeting was named Gale.

If anyone recognizes this gentlemen, please feel free to contact me.

Wordless Wednesday - Orphan Photos (#1)

In going through a box load of pictures that belonged to my mother, I've come across a lot of pictures of people I don't know. I believe that they might be friends and/or family of my step-father, Douglas Sinclair Kay. I'm going to start posting these on Wordless Wednesday in the hopes that someone might come across them and be able to identify them.

The man in this picture is my step-father but I have no idea who the lady and children are. He looks to be between the ages of 18 - 21 yrs old (a good 15 yrs before he married my mother), which would put the timeframe between 1945 - 1948. He lived in St. Lambert, Quebec, Canada at this time but I'm not sure if that is where this picture was taken.
