Mary’s children

Irene, Christie, Evelyn and Georgie

This is a photo of four of Mary’s children, probably taken the summer of 1910 or 1911. Left to right, they are Irene, Christie, Evelyn and my grandmother Georgiana Frances (probably known at that time as “Georgie”).  Valentine Dora was born later, in 1914.

I think my grandmother was probably named after her father, George.  When she was young, her parents referred to her as “Georgie”.  However, in her autograph album dated 1915/1916, most of her friends referred to her as “Frances”. As an adult, I remember most people referring to her as “Fran”.
