I'm miles from France

I found a whole stack of old family photographs. Who are they, where did they come from, where did I come from? This blog tells the story of my family and hopes to answer the age old question: Where did I come from?

Alma Wakeford “took ill” 18 March, died on 29 March and was buried 31 March, 1949.
Official records state her cause of death as “accute pancreatitis”. But apparently the truth was that she ingested chemicals to either purposely commit suicide or to abort her illegitimate child supposedly fathered by a married man.
She was in her early twenties.
