• Photos » Slide Show		David Finlayson and Mary, nee Saltmarsh - early photo
  		Finlaysons at Owen in 1893 Colin Semmler stated that the photo was taken about 1893 and they were David 48 yrs, Raymond 16, Ruby 5, Mary 43, Marie 10, Eveline 12, Ethel 18 and Oliver 14 yrs. For some reason, the two eldest children, Everard 19 and Florence 21, were absent at that time. The family are dressed up for a special occasion - what might this event be?
  		Finlaysons at Owen about 1898.jpg Uncertain identity as follows. Back row (left to right) - probably Oliver (or Raymond), David, Raymond (or Oliver) & Everard. Front row - probably Marie, Ruby, Mary, Ethel (or Florence) & Florence (or Ethel). The lattice indicates that this photo was taken in the same place as the other big family photo taken about 5 years earlier (1893) - probably in front of the family house in Owen. The family are dressed up for a special occasion - what might this event be?
