Hannah Howe<p>I love these ancestral snapshots. 1921, my 3 x great grandmother Sarah Ann Cottrell is a widow (her husband was lost at sea when she was 34). She’s living in East Ham, London with her son Arthur, a fish porter, and a widower. His daughter Florence is a toy maker. Despite huge setbacks, they stuck together. I can picture the family discussing their day over a fish supper. I’m curious to know what happened to Florence. More research required…</p><p><a href="https://toot.wales/tags/FamilyTree" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FamilyTree</span></a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/FamilyHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FamilyHistory</span></a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>History</span></a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/Genealogy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Genealogy</span></a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/1920s" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>1920s</span></a></p>
