Carol (Donnison) Weston's family photo collection

Overview

My wife inherited a lot of family photos from her father. As is common with many photo collections the people in them are not named. The contemporaries knew who they were, so identification was not important. As the photos passed down through the generations this knowledge was gradually lost. Carol knew some of the people, but was still trying to identify others. Unfortunately this knowledge was not recorded or passed on to me and was lost with her unexpected death.

Some photos contain a mixture of known and unknown people. Where people are known their profiles will be added to "people in this image". Once all the people are identified the photo will be removed from here.

This page was inspired by Jamie Nelson's page brought to my attention by Liz Marshall.

All people unknown

This is possibly part of the Parry-Jones family.

This is possibly Sidney Edward Scott and Margaret Ellen Scott.

Some identified

Work colleague of Kenneth Donnison (1914-1992), Carol's father who worked at the Coop St Helens and later at Coventry.

Unknown male on (their) left of Francis Edward Loyns (1882-1966) and Margaret Hannah (Skyrme) Loyns (1881-1962) with Florence Skyrme (Fairhurst) Donnison (1917-2004).

Unknown male on extreme left of image.

The two on the left are unknown, the two on the right are Francis Edward Loyns (1882-1966) and Margaret Hannah (Skyrme) Loyns (1881-1962). The four in the middle may be Laura Skyrme (1891-1987), Amy Skyrme (1882-abt.1974), Florence Skyrme (Fairhurst) Donnison (1917-2004) and Louie (Skyrme) Hards.

Colleagues at a pharmaceutical or ophthalmic conference. Ken was the Optician/Pharmacologist at the Coventry Coop and attended several conferences. He is the second from the left, the others are unknown.

Ethel (Donnison) Hough and Florence Skyrme (Fairhurst) Donnison (1917-2004) with an unknown companion. Their mother was Annie (Scott) Donnison (1885-1957), but this doesn't look like her.

Louie (Skyrme) Hards and Florence Skyrme (Fairhurst) Donnison (1917-2004) with an unknown companion. It might be Margaret Hannah (Skyrme) Loyns (1881-1962), but I am not sure.

Margaret Hannah (Skyrme) Loyns (1881-1962) is standing at the back on the left of the image. Florence Skyrme (Fairhurst) Donnison (1917-2004) and Louie are at the front on the right. The other two women are unknown. It might be Laura Skyrme (1891-1987) or Amy Skyrme (1882-abt.1974) next to Margaret, and the other might be Louisa Ann Berrisford (1848-1911).

The man in the background is unknown. It might be Thomas Edward Carlton Skyrme (1848-1923).

The two women on the left in the back row are unknown, they may be Margaret's sisters. The boy in the front is Thomas Reginald L Needham (1913-1973). The elder man is Thomas Edward Carlton Skyrme (1848-1923) and on the right is Margaret Hannah (Skyrme) Loyns (1881-1962), Francis Edward Loyns (1882-1966) and Florence Skyrme (Fairhurst) Donnison (1917-2004).

There are six unknowns in this photograph. The bride and groom (centre) are Annie (Scott) Donnison (1885-1957) and James Donnison (1884-1963). Sydney Walter Scott (1862-1956) is on the right hand side of the image. One of the women to his right is likely to be his wife Sarah Jane (Blundell) Scott (1861-1948), of the two the standing one looks more like her than the sitting one.

In the back row on the left is James Donnison (1884-1963) and on the right is Sydney Walter Scott (1862-1956). That may be their respective wives standing next to them but I am uncertain. The rest of the people are unknown.

Many (if not all) of the people in the [previous] image are also in this one, plus a lot more unknowns. It must have been a significant occasion to have assembled such a large family gathering. It does not look like a funeral (not enough black) nor a wedding (not enough fancy hats) so perhaps it was a christening.

The woman is not Thomas’s wife as she died in 1911, Reg was born in 1913, possibly one of Thomas’s daughters.

I can recognise James Donnison and Sydney Walter Scott. Presumably their wives are standing next to them although I don't recognise them. I also assume the groom and bride are seated, but I don't reconise them. Perhaps the other seated woman was the bridesmaid with her husband behind her, also neither recognised,

The Skyrme family. The woman in the centre of the bottom row is Amy Skyrme (1882-abt.1974) (indicated in pencil). The young boy on the right might be Edwin Carlton Skyrme (1885-1959).

Christiana is seated on the right. It is not known who the other two are.
