Can anyone help with this photo? - (posted here 19-June-2007)

Roger (Dennis) knows that these people were refered to by his family as the "Lane End people", he added "The Lane End People might be related to Robert Vernon Jones (on the Vernon Lodge R.A.O.B. photo elsewhere), or his wife Annie Beatrice, both of Blistors Farm, Bream. Alternatively, they might be "Coles", who would tie into the Pritchard family".

Thanks to Roger Matthews who added (Aug 2007): "I think the couple in the photo may be my great grandparents. I will try to ascertain their first names from my elderly mother. They lived in Broadwell Lane End, and he was an undertaker. Their surname was Matthews. I believe my mother actually has this photograph in her possession. It was taken, I think, outside their cottage next door to the former "Rising Sun" public house in Broadwell. I'll let you know the results of my research!"

Roger (Matthews) added (Sept 2007): "The 'Lane End' couple are indeed my great grandparents - Thomas and Lidea (maybe Liah) Matthews. He was an undertaker".
