Well done for rescuing the photo albums. I too think it so sad that these photos are no longer with their families. Having done some family history research myself I know that having photos to put with the names is wonderful.

Hi Nicola, what a splendid toque! Loved the little dove ring, and as always, loved seeing you and one of your excellent videos. Your efforts in producing them are greatly appreciated. It's been 6 months since my heart attacks and stroke, I'm going to celebrate my progressive recovery by spending some time out in the sunshine, with my bonsai trees. Thanks for getting my day off to an inspiring start! Love and hugs from Vancouver Island ❤

i have a family member that collects them and records the history of the family in them then logs them in a room she has in her home like they are books. some people donate them to her and tell her everything they know about the family in the photos. she collects the ones from local families to keep up with the history. it was how i found out i was related to one of the first families to settle in my town i currently live in and that i have a really distant family member from way back then with the same last name as my friend's who's entire family is from this town. there's a chance i am very distantly related to himin some way which would mean my other friend who's his distant cousin could also be related to me in some way. rescuing old albums is why a lot of families find new family members they didn't know they had or could possibly have.

Well Nicola, I am not so sure about those doll heads! They scare me. I never had a doll growing up. It's funny because my two older sisters had dolls and clothes and their own carrying cases and once I, the third daughter came along, no more dolls. But I loved the clay pipes overload - that had me tickled pink along with your pottery shards! What a great day out! I loved seeing your daughter Grace. She is beautiful, just like your son! 🐥♥️🐤

Your daughter is lovely!! You are much too young having children that have a little age on them! And I know you have a much older son. Such a lovely visit to the foreshore. Always love an episode when you and Si Finds collaborate. Oh, you're going to Chicago! I grew up near there and it is, for the most part, a lovely city. Wonderful museums. Fabulous restaurants, especially Italian. The lake is phenomenal and very cold. I never found bottles or other things in it, but I did find fossil remnants of coral, Petoskey stones, and circular remnants of crinoids we used to call wampum (it wasn't truly wampum). I did live across the street from an old home where the occupants threw their trash on the side of a hill. I had a good time sorting through that, but I think it was a bit dangerous, rusty tin cans and all. The woman who lived in the house would fuss at me if she caught me but I didn't care!

Hi Nicola Happy Easter your looking Gorgeous Today and nice to see Si and your Daughter Grace, Your Urban Mudlarking is a great idea and i would like to see what you find also it is nice to have some history to go with your finds. I know Deptford well i used to live there until i was 8 yrs old then ventured east to Greenwich, Deptford high street was my favourite Saturday shopping day i went with my nan helped carry bags then Goddards Pie n Mash shop occasionally to Manzes Pie n Mash n Liquor Jellied eel's Those were the day's LOL .I look forward to your Urban Mudlarking video's i like Old things and the history behind them it's a never ending reality but i dont think in the next 100 yrs it will be as interesting as most things found then will be Plastic, Glass not as unusual lots of the same, Pottery is sort of the same Chugging out of factory's by the Thousands not as interesting, Nowadays as a lot of old pottery is by hand and designs painted on or crafted is so much more satisfying to hold and see craftsmanship of years gone by. Sorry for the book Nicola wishing you and your Daughter and Si a Happy Easter to you all take care God Bless. Gerry
