please find enclosed photos I have of my family and if you would like to use them and your web site there would be no problem you never know someone might recognise them from a photo they have , I do know that there are still a few humberstones in the area.
Picture one is of my great great great grandma biddy humberstone , biddy was born in 1832 at great hale and died in 1920 and is buried in heckington church yard and was a sausage and pie maker, and used to live on boston road heckington.
on the back of the photo it says to rufus with love from mum.
Picture two shows my great grandad alfred picture with his wife amy and his two sisters ruth , latter ruth union and biddy this photo has on it photo by t upton sleaford.
Picture three shows my great grandad alfred
Picture four shows my great grandad alfred with my mum in april 1946
picture five shows my great great uncle tom alfreds brother together with a george blancks
Picture six shows my great great uncle jack humberstone
Picture 7 i beleive is my great great uncle rufus shown is the insignia for the royal garrison artillery
Picture 8 is of my grandad pictured in the far east in ww2, rex , alfreds son
IF any of these pictures are recognised by anyone this would really help me in my family tree research ,
alfred had 4 sisters i know about biddy born 1885 , ruth born 1887 , eliza born 1890 and kate born 1892 and 4 brothers walter born 1878 , arthur born 1881 , tom born 1889 and john born 1895 all born in church street heckington .
the aboves dad was a joseph humberstone born1854 in heckington and he had at least 7 brothers born between 1858 and 1877 whom subesquently got married and had kids , ie alfreds cousins , hence these may be the cousins and brothers in your photo.
pell humberstone, joseph's brother of above was grocer in heckington in 1891 in church stree
