- Description
- Albert, Hettie, Wilbert Ethel & Kids is the label on this photo in the family album.
Albert and Hettie are on our right, slightly in behind Harold, Russell is tucked between Harold and Ethel, Lois is between her parents, and in front are twins Martha and Kathryn (who have been giggling and didn't want to pose judging by the grip of their parents.)
The family is on their farm called "Glenclare Farm" on Lot 15, Concession 2 NDS Trafalgar. This land had been settled by Albert's father, Michael L. Biggar and his wife, Belinda. It runs north from Burnhamthorpe Road on the east side of 6th Line. - Notes
- The twins look to be 4-6 years old so I have put the date time frame as about 1931-1933.
The surname spelling on their headstone is "Bigger" but the spelling "Biggar" has also been commonly used by the family. - Subject(s)
