This photo is my newest treasure from Aunt Lelia. She just received the photo from someone but she doesn't remember who (probably a Bannard descendant). I have no other group photos like this one. I am so glad that Aunt Lelia thought to share it with me and that Cousin Gary helped her send me a copy. Also, it was very thoughtful of her to label everyone; otherwise, I would have been doing a lot of guessing....
Standing, left to right: Mickey, Lelia, Flora, my father, Anne, Fred (barely a shadow over Wyla's right shoulder), Wyla
Seated: Bertha, Anne Matilda (Causier) Carr, Jane
Front: Barbara, Jessie, Margaret
The family groups are:
Anne Matilda (Causier) and 3 of her 7 children: Jane, Bertha, Anne
Bertha and 5 of her 8 children: my dad, Mickey, Lelia, Wyla, Barbara
Jane & husband Fred with 3 of their 4 children: Jessie, Flora, Margaret
The location is most probably somewhere in Los Angeles County, possibly in the North Hollywood area. We don't know who is holding the camera (perhaps Ray B?) and Lelia doesn't remember the event itself. It has to be before my great-grandmother Carr's death in 1940. Guessing from Barbara's apparent age, I think the photo is 1938-9. Ray H. died in late 1937, but maybe the photo is earlier and he's the photographer. However, that would make Barbara younger than 6. Does she look that young??
