I have just come into the possession of a wonderful brown embossed leather bound Victorian photo album, full of family portrait photos.
(I purchased it because I have Frances Maude Walley in my husband’s family tree. She married a Harold Thomas Bull as Solicitor in 1898. Her Father was William Henry Walley, a Solicitor too from Manchester and her mother was Clara Jane Buckland born 1844 Kent.)
The album was found it an attic of a smallish Victorian terrace, in the Albert Street, St Nicholas Street area of Droitwich-Spa. How long it was in the attic is not known..
Inside the cover of the album it is inscribed with the following details.
With Best Wishes to
Miss Maud Walleyfrom Ted on October 20th 1897
Most of the photos were taken in Manchester.
(My Frances Maud Walley had an uncle Edwin/Edward Buckland)
Loose inside the album is a piece of paper, not necessarily relating to the photos in the album, but it reads...
Eliza Bold Her Book
Titmarsh Northampton May 2 1851
Also loose in the album is a torn photo of Mr Edward Dunn, in what looks like a Band Uniform, Director of Music, Morecombe Corporation.
If anyone has photos of any of their Walley ancestors/family perhaps they can contact me as they might just be in this album too.
