Wordless Wednesday June 16, 2008
This is my great great grandmother, Mary Lickley (née Robertson). She was married to Leslie Lickley.
I believe she was born 1841 and died 1907. Married 1859.

What an amazing picture! It’s like going back in time. My, how I wish I had photos like this of my ancestors. I bet I’d see much of myself in them.
My own WW contribution will be up later this eve, but for now, I’ve posted a link to a neat new photographic activity on my site. It’s called Thematic Photographic, and here’s the link to get right into it:

This is very cool. I wonder if my mother still has the old photos that she got from my grandmother. I should give her a call and find out. They would be fascinating.
Happy WW!

Great old photo! I noticed down the bottom corner it says Dundee – was she Scottish?
What a neat bit of your ancestry. I don’t have any old photos like that. Maybe my mom does.
I love old pictures. this is very cool…you are lucky to still have old photos like this.

We have a few really old photos, and I think my parents may have started to digitize some of them…

Hey this is nice! I can never seem to achieve the old photo effect in photoshop. Nothing beats the real thing. She’s lovely btw.
awwh how nice to honor her– I too wish I had more of ones like this
I too wish I had more photos of ancestors. I look at this lady and wonder about her life…
I love old-time photographs. They are a unique blend of art and history, and sometimes even representative of the pop culture of the times. Thanks for sharing this one.

Hi Clarence,
Yes, she seems to have been born in Alyth, and then moved to Dundee where she married and eventually died. Dundee is where I was born as well. Her husband (there’s a link to his picture) worked on whaling ships and also on diving bells during the construction of the Tay rail bridge.
It is wonderful you know so much about your family history.
WHOA that’s a really cool and old picture… It’s great to still have on of these…

Happy WW!
Old photos are so very intriguing. They make you want to know more of the story. Happy WW.
How fortunate you are to have this photo of your great great grandmother. What a treasure.
