Another Manitoba Simpson
Here is another photo from Manitoba. There is a lot of writing on the back but is impossible to read although I think it is just instruction to direct the printer in colouring the image. To see the Manitoba family … Continue reading
Girl from Fenelon Falls
No hints about this young woman other than that the ears look like those in other photos and may be of the Simpson family. Photo taken in Fenelon Falls, Ontario which is not far from Millbrook and from the Peterborough … Continue reading

Who are the twins?
May not be identical twins but someone went to a lot of work to make two identical outfits. Taken in Orono. Apparently women wore tight fitting dresses in the 1880s so this might give us a possible date.

Durward Simpson (1902-1981) and Eleanor Wilson
Durward Simpson (1902-1981) was the youngest son of Hugh Simpson (1858-1944) and Helen Thornton (1860 -1932). Durward, whose first name created much confusion as his birth certificate and census records both have it wrong, was born in the Territories – … Continue reading
