Old Family Photo's/Summerson/Franklin - A very interesting website, |i have a strong family connection here, im related to the Summersons mentioned on your census lists, the Summersons from Ludworth, other Summersons in the area are most likely my cousins, im also related to the Franklins that were in Wheatley Hill, the Franklins were there in the 1880's and some were still there around 1912 including William Franklin, |this information is listed in my family tree records as Annie Summerson and Robert Summerson, my grandfathers sister and brother married 2 of the Franklin family and emigrated to Pennsylvania,USA in 1912-1914 but it apears that some of the Franklin family had already settled in USA in the 1880's, I have about 12 old photos of Summersons from the 1800's to the early 1900's and in perfect condition but i havnt a clue who they are? i can see family likenesses in some of them so im hoping someone here might be able to identify some of them if you have a connection to the Summersons here, im hoping my great grand parents and great great grand parents from Ludworth are amongst them. I keep hoping one of my ancestors photos might turn up on your website one day|Many thanks for a good website |R Summerson|... Collapse
