Genealogy Chat

I would like to make contact with any researcher that has Mary Elizabeth Hannah WARWICK in their family tree as I have a collection of portrait photographs that I found in a Antique shop, one being of the above Mary aged 9 years. This photograph was taken by A & G Taylor photographers in London.
Amongst the collection are photo's taken in England, Australia and New Zealand, many of them would be pre 1900. A majority of the English photos are taken in Peckham and only a few have names or messages written.

I am not sure if this is the appropriate Chat site for the above query.

Hi Barbara

You would do best to search the trees on here, if you then find a connection you can send the tree owner a message

Have pmed the trail to a possible great grandson of Lydia Warwick, Mary's cousin, as I'm not sure how many people in the chain might still be living.

There may well be closer relatives, I just followed this link and found what I believe is a current address.

EDIT: At least one person has Lydia Warwick on their GR tree, and a few might have her son Henry Baron 1894 on their tree.

According to a tree on Ancestry, Lydia Warwick Baron's daughter Lydia Violet (mentioned in census 1911 posted earlier), went to Australia at some point and returned, married and died in England .

Thank you Kucinta for that research. I will send the person you mentioned a letter as these photos are actually in New Zealand.
I also came to the conclusion that Mary EH WARWICK died a single woman. But there may be extended family still in Australia or NZ.
