Thanks Kath - will do that, good idea.

There are two Genes members called Ruth and Josephine who have Richard Budden born 1921 in Wareham in their trees. If you put the name Richard Budden into the quick search box at the top of the page you will find them and you can click on their names and send them private messages about this photo.

Rose - the photo isn't dated but if the birth info above is correct at 1890 - she is a grown woman but with no lines on her face so I suppose it could have been taken anytime between 1910 & 1935 ish. However the style of her hair & clothing I'd say is pre WWI. Thankyou for reading my post.

When was the photo taken?

Hi. What agreat find and a challenging mystery for you. I would love for someone to be chasing me to give me a piece of my history.
Have you looked on the boards for descendants ?
I quickly looked at children born from the marriage of Winifred and John Budden.
RICHARD Budden b 1921 Wareham. There is a Richard J Budden b 1921 j-m Wareham with mmn Hooper on Ancestry.
Worth sending a message.
Good luck Joan

So, thanks to you all, we now have possible matches for Winifred's birth, 1891 census, 1901 census, 1911 census & a marriage entry. Being nosey I googled street view of where she was in 1911 & it's an imposing detached double-fronted house & looks very well to do. I hope someone does contact me as I'm really excited about this & it's all thanks to your hard work.

Shirley - as I've no access to Ancestry etc at the moment I can't do any checking up myself.

Thanks for checking that Gwyn, I'll sit tight & leave the posting in the hope I can pass the photo on.

19 St Catherine's Rd Southbourne Christchurch Hampshire. If anyone recognises her name or address please let me know as I bought an old photo frame recently in Windsor Bucks & her photo was still in it - she looks really lovely, has a cat on her lap & a parrott perched on her hand. I'd like to reunite the photo with her family if possible. Thanks for reading this.
