Leaves on this Family Tree

Kirkham Photos

Items found in Kirkham/Kreider Family Bible,
Photos taken at Grave Sites
or
Photos from Family Photo Albums 

Watson Mowbray Kirkham
Carlton Burying Grounds . . . Edinburg, Scotland
First look at area where he was buried.
These photos were taken by Gordon Millar.
I met him in a Genealogy board online.
He was so kind to look into my Kirkham family.
Not only did he send me these Burying Ground photos
he found a relative who still lives in Edinburg, Scotland.

Unidentified photo found in Family Bible.
I believe these are Pearl Jane and Agnes Bell Kreider.
Agnes was 6 years older than Pearl
 and it looks like that could be the age difference here.
If you look closely at Pearl, on the left,
you will notice her upper eye lids are droopy.
This is a trait I share with my grandmother.

Also, look at the shape of the faces
 and compare them to the two photos below.
Although I can't be 100% sure this is a photo of them,
my heart tells me it is.
Agnes Bell Kreider
(caption on photo says Grt Grt Grandmother Agnes Kreider Welker
mother of Charlotte Welker)
I believe I received this photo from Donna Hawkins Reinholt,
Charlotte's grand daughter.



Pearl Jane Kreider
photo taken 24 Feb 1945
at her daughter Leah Jane Winegardner's wedding
to Paul L Gaumer.
Pearl would have been 63 years old,
the same age as I am in 2014.
WOW . . . that is such a strange concept.
