Photos of Matilda Lankshear and her friends the Jacobs - Ashfield NSW
|
for family see 1863 John LANKSHEAR marriage to Rebecca WALTERS COOMA and also Photos of daughters of John Lankshear - Ashfield NSW A descendant of Eugenie sent me these photos as he found my site with Julie's photos and following contact with Julie - Scott was very excited that Julie found an even older photo of his ancestors. |
Matilda Lankshear born 22-6-1877 Known to nieces as "Aunt Pat" probably from Aunt Mat. and to friends as Tilly And one very good friend from Wagga was Eugenie Rochard
|
Eugenie married Henry Hay Jacobs and as in this cabinet card Eugenie
is pregnant with her youngest child Lil that puts the date as
the Australian Summer November 1888 to
January 1889.
Amazing that unknowingly this was with Lankshear family and now through the internet it is back with their descendant. |
and here they some time after 1896 And they also moved from Wagga Wagga to Ashfield
|
They had a shop at 109 Frederick St You can see the children in the next photo |
A day at Taronga Zoo around 1920 The people are l-r:
The dress Eugenie Jacobs is wearing in the picture at the zoo was definitely made by Miss Lankshear.
|
The children looks like on same day in 1920 |
 Cyril Jacobs was taken in
1907, so the date is
original. On the back he states that the photo is his own work. A fact
which I found very interesting. Funny that you should comment on
his clothes, he was known in the family as the 'dandy'.
I am
impressed by your interest in the fashions of the old photo's. This interest, along with facial details has enabled me to identify a lot of
unmarked photo's which I recently inherited. I would be happy
for you to use the photo if it would help your website. The details
of the picture are: Cyril Jacobs b. 1883, Wagga Wagga, d.1949,
Dunedin, NZ.
