This is believed to be a photo of the Stockton Secondary School girls’ hockey team, probably taken sometime between 1920 and 1922. We think that the girl on the far right might be the photo owner’s great aunt, Ivy Eileen Bainbridge.
Perhaps someone else has a copy of this picture and can date it more precisely, or identify some of the people in it?
I believe that this is a photograph of the family of my grandmother, Ada Hemmings. Ada emigrated to Canada around 1920 and here she met and married my grandfather, William Foster in a small town in Alberta called Carbon. They had seven children in homesteaded from Carbon, Alberta to Grand Center, Albert, which is way up north.
I think that the first photo is of my great great grandfather and the back of the photo shows that the image was taken by J. T. Clarke on Bridge Road, Stockton-on-Tees. The third image is of a letter which was sent to Ada regarding her travel to Canada.
