Evans/Rozycki Early Pics1900s


Muriel Westmorland(nee Evans Canada) has decided to blog her family tree (contributions by brother-in-law John Clements in Australia) plus photos collected of her grandmother, and mother and father.


This photo is of Stanley Joseph Evans on the extreme right with his stepmother Martha and father Samuel Evans and brother Evan Evans to the extreme left and Evan's son Ieuan as the small boy - taken probably around early 1900s in Trefil South Wales.

The picture below is of Muriel's grandmother Minnie nee Uren who married Vernon Alexander Rozycki. It was her second marriage. Her daughter Olive is the tallest girl from a previous marriage and Muriel's Mum Dorothea Wilhelmina is the little girl at the bottom of the photograph. Dorothea's sister Veronica is on the left. Probably taken around 1914 in East London
UK.

The next photo is a copy of one that my brother-in-law John gave me. It is a picture of Minnie with Olive (the older girl on the left and Veronica on the right and Dorothea in her arms. The type of row house is the same today. Apparently it was made into a postcard and Minnie sent it to her mother in Cornwall reminding her to write!



The next photo is of
Muriel's grandfather in his
army uniform. Vernon Alexander Rozycki was a Sapper in the First World War and eventually died of Trench fever. He was fluent in 5 languages including Esperanto and was a proof reader for the The Times International Correspondance. Here is a close up of Grandfather Rozycki.
