The Snow family 1913

picture of my Grandad and brothers.........my Grandad Herbert is the one facing the camera with the dark suit on .......
This was a photo believed to have been taken in the 1890's of Snows Builder's yard in Neath .......my Grandad worked at the family business all his life still going into work well into his late 80's he died in his 90's
Edgar Snow one of my Grandad's brothers
Margaret my Great Grandmother.........
William Henry my Great Grandfather.........
Ethel Snow one of my Grandad's sisters
Some things don't change over the generations
Ethel Flossie and Harold..Auntie Flossie was a dancer and had a dancing group ..... as a child I danced in Auntie Flossie's Troupe as it was called my friend Louise and I got the front spots for a lot of the numbers we performed shows all over the place and had a grand old time..........
I believe that it was Harold Snow who bred champion Welsh terriers he took them to Crufts and exported them to America.......
Auntie Flossie was quite a character as you can see from these pics.......
Re-found the website with some of my family history so i've posted some interesting photos of my Grandad, some of his brothers and sisters and his parents and grandparents.......The Snow family had a building business in Neath South Wales where I was born and grew up ....there were 22 children 13 of which survived into adulthood....the link if you're interested is Snow Family
Absolutely great photos, Lorna! I think that I can see where you got some of your creative genes.
ReplyDeleteThat is really interesting. I am not surprised you had a builder(s) and dancer in your family. oxo
ReplyDeleteHow great to have access to all that really old family stuff. And what wonderful photos!
ReplyDeleteI just love old photos, and as an ex ballet dancer myself I really love the ones of the dancers.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great lot of photos you have shared, so much of mine are lost, great that you have access to these....xox Corrine
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful share, Lorna! Thank you. Love the Snow Builders ad/listing. Do you think you resemble Great Grandma Margaret? I believe I see at least a family resemblance.

Wonderful to have all these - Flossie looks like quite a character!
ReplyDeleteWhat I would give to have a glorious set of family photos like you have! Eek!
ReplyDeleteLOVE those old photos!! notice how there aren't too many smiling faces in OLD photos?? i wonder if it's because it took too long...sitting there...waiting for the picture to be taken...or is it because they were all a little serious...and worked HARD in thoise days??!!
