Good day;
I am posting this message to try an reconnect with Amanda Woolley of New South Wales who descends from or has family contacts with the above Edwin Evans Yearsley. I have tried old e-addresses and Google to locate her all with no success.
Thansk
Glen A. Yearsley

I have replied to Glen's message off-line.

This photograph was printed in 1906 by the Phoenix Company, Longhope, Gloucestershire.

Can anyone tell me if they recognise it? It is most likely to be in or near Mitcheldean

Many thanks
Amanda Woolley

The house on the right of the picture shown here:
