The Philipson family standing outside Park house.
I think this might be my direct family. Thomas Heslop Philipson lived at park cottage. His children were John Joseph who moved away, Thomas who went to America, Nicholas of whom I know no details and my great grandfather George who continued to live at park cottage. He married Mary Armstrong and had several girls (6 I think). So possibly the photo could be my grandmother Ruth Philipson with her mother or sisters. If so l am so excited as this could be the only photo of my grandmother or great grandmother that l have seen. If someone could get back to me maybe we could name the people or even rule out a possibility. Many thanks Jacquie
