Images of photographs judged to be from 1880 to 1889
 
 
 Thomas Hannaford (b 1865) and family. Do not know  names of wife and child.  He is the younger brother of Louisa.  This photo probably belongs  in next decade.
 Maybe the first two children of Jack Edgerley  . Pen & ink writing on back "To Dear Aunt Lizzie, from Dorothy and Jack"  Any comments, who is Aunt Lizzie, presumably on Dorothy's side ?   Does anyone know what happened to them or their mother ?  Mr Trevor Edgerley has the names Arlene and Bay for Jacks girls. Photo by W. Clement Lavis at Birkenhead. Just possibly from previous decade.
 Louisa Hannaford was born in 1863  near Ballarat and  married William Edgerley and bore seven children between 1882 and 1904. Who raised Louisa and Tom ? This photo was taken in Auckland at Hemus & Hanna and is post 1880 from Sydney Exhibition logo 1880 on back. Louisa  had her first child William Walter in 1882. 
  William and Louisa Edgerley
New information kindly sent in  March 2002 by Fay Sefton (nee Mabbett)  a grand-daughter of Jack & Ethel Edgerley ex of Warkworth. Louisa was working for a family on  a  sugar plantation in Fiji when she met William whose older brother Jack was a part owner.  They married in Auckland in 1881, he was 32, she was 18.
Photo taken in Melbourne at E.C. Waddington & Co, 109 Elizabeth St, William Edgerley and young woman name not known. Possibly from previous decade, to me he looks slightly younger than in above photo.
 William Walter Edgerley b 1882 to Louisa and William;  with sisters Ruby b 1885 and Kate b 1887.  Photo possibly just from next decade.  Earliest photo I have of my mothers father.
