William Raymond was born in Scotland 1824.
He died in Kidderminster, Worcestershire, England 1909. If he
was 18 when this photo was snapped then the photograph is about 177
years old (that is in about 2020).
In 1881 his residence is recorded as
being Kidderminster Old Borough, Worcestershire, England.
Above is an old handwritten piece of paper outlining William's
children as recorded by Simon's mother, Joan. So Simon's great great grandmother's
name was Elizabeth Adams born 18th August 1823 at Stourbridge, Kidderminster.
She married William on Christmas morning in 1849 in the
New Meeting Chapel, Church Street, Kidderminster. The chaplain's name at
the wedding service was Reverend Gipson Children.
Simon has no photograph of Elizabeth, his great great
grandmother, but he does have her lineage going back to 1638.
No kings or royalty but farmers and hunters
William Raymond.
