Hi Jessica
Sorry my email will not send to your email for some reason, you could try mine;
sian@msumners.fsnet.co.ukIt would be lovely to meet up once I am settled. We are moving to Fiskerton, just outside Lincoln, not far from Riseholme, which is a coinsidence, in fact our new next door neighbour, works at the Agricultural College there, small world!
As far as the picture goes, I am pretty limited to putting names to faces, but my aunt and uncle may be able to help. My great grandfather (Francis Falconer) is lying on his side, bottom right, with a little boy leaning on him. The boy could be my great uncle Tom. When was the picture taken?
The hat manufacturing is new to me, that's interesting. I know there was a connection with Falconers Department store in Aberdeen, not my granny's direct family, but an uncle if I recall.I know that was sold to House of Fraser. I will have to look through my saved stuff in Ancestry.com. My memory is not the best and I'm only 43!!
I remember granny showing me Dee Street and I thought she said the warehouse was something to do with the family being tweed merchants?
I'll try and put something into some order and email you back
