An outing from Skinningrove Methodist chapel; George Tremain tells us: ”After some research I now believe I can identify some of the members of this group. On the back group standing 3rd in is Charles Hall, 5th from left with moustache is Joseph Easton and with her arm linked to his I believe is Emily Jemson his step granddaughter. Second from the right standing is Priscilla Easton who had formerly been Priscilla Jemson until her husband William Jemson was killed in a mining accident. Second row from the front 3rd from the right as you look kneeling is Mary Jemson kneeling.” There are also other members of the Hall/Jemson family on the photograph as all seemed to have strong links with the church. Tony Nicholson advises: “Fred Nicholson is crouching at front on far left. He married Clara Hall. Worked as deputy in ironstone mines but then started his own business with Mr Petty (Nicholson and Petty). The photograph must be somewhere around 1910-20.” Ruth White advises: “Joseph Easton was my three times great grandad. My father George was born in 1918 in Margrove Park and his sister was born in 1914 at Margrove, he never knew any of his blood family. His mum died when he was six weeks old. My father was looked after by the families called Toes and Tansley. This photograph is the first to be seen of any of Dad’s family. I was born in 1956 and remember going to the Tansleys in Margrove when I was about 8 years old. Trying to find Dad’s sister or any other members of the Easton family, since then I have been to Margrove and taken photographs of where Dad was born and of the church where his mum and dad where married and sadly where his mum is buried. My fathers parents where George Easton and Eva Emma Easton, (nee Waller). Thank you for showing the photograph; I was very moved when I found the web site last night.”
