Envelope Addressed to Mrs Tivnann? 1921? (with press cuttings / memorials)

Leave a Reply

The name of the addressee can be seen on the envelope here and I think the date is 1921, looking at the stamp. The name may be Tivnann, as there is another much later letter from a Tivnann of Thornaby.

An address written on the back of the envelope –
Inside the envelope are 2 small cuttings of which this is the first – about the Timothy Hackworth Memorial.
The second is memorial notice in the paper to Albert Ernest Hackworth (Bert) who, sadly dies unmarried at the age of 35 – son of the late Albert and Esther Hackworth of Thornaby on tees. He was their only son. I’m assuming this was about or sometime before 1921.
This next memorial piece was not with the above material but relates to Albert Ernest Hackworth – from Maud –

Esther Ann Williams (1862 – 1917). They had 2 sons and 2 daughters but only
Prudence Winifred (1892 – 1956) who married Harry Parsons had issue. Joan was
their daughter.

Joan Hackworth – Weir. Victorian Photo Album Pt 1

Leave a Reply

This beautiful Victorian photo album was among Joan Hackworth-Weir‘s belongings when she passed away. It has obviously been in the family for generations and is certainly a ‘Hackworth‘ album but i think with photos possibly from other sides of Joan’s family. Some of the photos in the collection are designated (notably John Wesley Hackworth) but many are not. Hopefully the wider family may be able to fill in some of the blanks! This album is split between several posts here.
