Hi Ann Yes the book was a sequel and I have the first one as well but it just about the womans family, and I cannot find any connection, there were a lot of names at the back that the woman thanked for information and one of the names Ian Abrahams is the chairman of Bitterne History Society so I have just wrote a letter explaining it all and asking him if he could help in anyway. and I am just off to post it now. so I am keeping my fingers crossed, I do hope the picture is of my great great great granny that would be wow. but I would love a copy of the original unfortunly the book is out of print now so I cannot buy the book to keep, but have just renewed it over the phone to the Library so I have it for another 3 weeks. Thanks Debbie |

Hi Spooky indeed, and fascinating. Sounds like the book is a sequel. From the point of view of the photo, does it say anywhere in the book something like 'photos printed by kind permission of ....' ? Just a thought. Ann |

Hi Jeanette Thanks for the reply, yes it was spooky the lady in the photo is quite old and dressed in black she's the spooky one. The lady that wrote the book was actualy the publisher and it gives her address, I dont think she is related, I think I will have to write a letter or something. Thanks Debbie |

Hi Debbie What a find, eh? All very spooky! How about writing to the publishers to see if they can shed any light? If the lady who wrote the book has passed on, she may still have living relatives. Jeanette |

Hi All I took a book out of the library the other day, for the area of Bitterne which is where most of my ancestors came from. And in it was a picture of a woman called Elizabeth Abraham it mentioned her husband Josiah Abraham and son Samuel Abraham. Now there are not many Josiah's about, and I have just recieved my Great Great grandmothers Susan Abrahams birth certificate and it says father Joseph Abraham and mother Elizabeth Abraham Formerly Gray. Also I have Susans marriage certificate and one of the witnesse's was a Samuel Abraham. Do you think the picture in the book is one of my Ancestors. Unfortunetly the lady that wrote the book Irene Pilson was fairly old when she wrote the book in about 1985 and if still alive would be about 98 now. There is no contact to find out more. And I would love to be able to use this picture or would I be breaking the law. Any suggestions please. Plus if anyone that has Ancestors from the Bitterne area of Southampton hampshire should read this book so many pictures and stories. Book title More Memories of Bitterne. Thanks Debbie |
