| Many thanks to Irene Kelsall for sending me these photos. She tells me that all her mother's family (9 in all) were born in Oakland Terrace, St Ives. Most of them married and lived in the surounding villages. Their family name was Abraham. On the death of the youngest daughter, Joan, the photos were passed on to Irene. All the girls worked in the egg factory, one worked in the Mill, two were in the Land Army on Chivers Farm. She remembers visiting her great grand mother who lived to the age of 99. |
