Mrs. Wilson thinks that this photo was probably taken at Boulby Barns.

Georgina Codling (Thurlow) is on the left of the back row.  Could Isabel be the little girl in the middle?

I wonder what the occasion was.  The young woman on the left, at the front, is holding a small parcel.

I think this picture was taken at the front door of Boulby Barns, about 1927.

Georgina (nee Thurlow) has their daughter, Isabel, on her knee.  Their son, Denis seems reluctant to have his photo taken and has turned away from the camera.

This photo was taken in 1910 0r 1911 at Boulby Barns.  Ada is pictured with her three sons – little boys wore dresses then.

Billy is standing, Ada is holding Teddy and Henry is sitting in the wonderful pushchair I think.

This family group was taken in about 1910 at Boulby Barns Farm.

John and Isabel Thurlow are seated, second right and second left, surrounded by their two sons and seven daughters, I believe.

Georgina is third from the left, at the back, and the child seated in front is Amy.  I am guessing that she is one of their granddaughters.

Can someone tell us any more about the family and why they have all got together for the photograph?

Boulby Barns Farm is on the old road, near the top of the bank, between Skinningrove and Staithes. The Thurlow family gathered for a special occasion in about 1910.   Even the little girls are wearing wonderful hats. 

Mrs. Wilson’s grandmother, Georgina Thurlow is third from the left on the back row. 

Can anyone tell us what the occasion was, or name any other members of the family?

Thanks to Owen Rooks for the following information:

I believe that the girl (wearing the rather fetching large white hat) standing 2nd from right on the front row is Amy Thurlow. Amy became a close friend of my mother in about 1920 when for a time they were neighbours at Boulby- my mother (before she married) may have worked at Boulby Barns. Many years later, Amy shared a home in Park Terrace, Loftus with Florence (Flo) Fletcher and they both shared a life long friendship with my mother who died in 1973. In the late 1940’s, Amy and Flo ran a corner shop in Tees Street, East Loftus.
