Notes for Elizabeth Mary SMITH Two books in my possession which are enscribed as having been presented to her,
Shakespeare and a Holy Bible. The Bible was given to her by her father, 'Papa',
containing a note 'Confirmed at Edgbaston Parish Church May 25th 1870'. I also
have a letter written to her granddaughter, Katharine Mary ADKINS, by a friend
regarding a ring given to Elizabeth by her father Frederick SMITH to mark her
completing her schooling (in about 1870). The ring was enclosed with the letter but
of course we now don't know which ring this was. Close inspection of the two
pictures of Barbara (above) suggests that she was wearing the same outfit in both,
which further suggests that the pictures were taken on the same occasion. The
picture of the locket is slightly bigger than life size. This is my great
grandmother who died so young (25) while giving birth to my grandmother Elizabeth Mary Barbara RATCLIFF. [95]
Notes for John Francis RATCLIFF One of the first to own a car in Solihull, Warwickshire UK - a Hupmobile, American chassis with UK body, must have been in or after 1909.
