Another Isabella...

Isabella Williamson Caven 1866-1952I have five Isabella Williamson's  on my family tree.   This one was born in Harrington, Cumberland, England in 1866.  My 1st cousin 3 times removed.   We are descended from different sons of Nicholas  Williamson  and Mary Lowery who are my 3rd Great Grand Parents and Isabella's Grand Parents.   Isabella is the daughter of John Williamson and Isabella Smallwood.

Isabella married George James Caven in Harrington in 1890. Shortly after they moved to Liverpool, Lancashire, England.

George was born in the town of Dallbeatie,Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland.

Love these old pics - how few of them have smiling people in them. Thanks again for sharing.

I believe they did not smile because they had to keep still and hold the pose a long time without moving.
