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.
