The hut on chicken's legs

Or, Pictures at an Exhibition. I recommend Richter's version. But here, I am recording the pictures that my mother has on her stairs. Pictures digitised on my Pixel 4a5G using the Google Photoscan app. Click on pix to go to the Flickr originals. Mother generally wrote stuff on the back, which I also copied; click on the date for that.

Rumour says that Jenny has Roland's genealogical tracing; I should find that sometime,

Marjorie and Annie


We begin with mother and Annie, or Pat(ricia).

  1. A fragment (see email from Mother, fwd from elsehwere): ...the background of Lucy Beaumont - your grandmother. I did find some stuff. I know she was born in Badingham Suffolk, and that after she left home her father ended up as a licensed victualler and shopkeeper at the Gladstone Arms Combs Ford near Stowmarket. It's still there - see https://suffolk.camra.org.uk/pub/913 where your great grandfather William George Beaumont is listed, and the link below for the current streetview picture. (Interestingly its 'sister pub' the Dove Street Inn in Ipswich is apparently run by a Beaumont, which may be relevant). However Lucy herself seem to have been in service, then somehow met George Edward Farley and had a family. There were family rumours about her being a suffragette and chaining herself to the railings somewhere. But generally apart from birth/marriage/death records, and the odd old photo I can't find much about her.
