Hodgson-earliest images

Unknown

While the people in the two images are unknown, H. Andrews was a photography firm based in Carlisle. The Carlisle archives office has examples of his work which are specifically dated between 1876 and 1884, which would be reasonable to assume is when these date from.

Heskett Andrews, who was born in Wigton, was, it appears, at one time based in Sheffield Street in Carlisle, but would appear also to have worked from 82B Lowther Street, which at that time, it seems, would have been opposite the Post Office. In addition, records indicate that the business was operating in Maryport.

Note: All the images on the page are scans of the originals with no further editing, so are the images in their present condition.

In her later years, despite failing memory, Mary identified these images as being  Aunt Morley and James Morley

Born on 1st November 1854, an older sister of her grandmother, she was more accurately a Great Aunt. She died on 12th July 1945.

In 1879, she married

James Morley

(born 31-01-1858/ died 23-01-1927).

They had two daughters, Elizabeth and Sarah Morley, more usually known as "Lizzie" and "Tatar".
