Aunt Peggy

Peggy (Nosworthy) Johnston and her husband, Eddy Johnston. I am not sure of the dates. Photos provided by their daughter, Maralyn.

Maralyn adds: My Mother wrote a date on back of that photo of her: January 18, 1935. She was 22 yrs. old. I have a feeling that the photo of my Father was taken at the same time. He was 25 yrs. old.

Myrtle and John

Aunt Myrtle (Nosworthy) and husband John Reid. Myrtle was the first child of Alfred and Mary and I believe the only one born in Halifax, Nova Scotia before the family moved to Quebec City.

Maralyn LeBlanc adds: " Her family and your grandfather's family (my Uncle Donald) lived next door to each other on 4th Avenue in Verdun in the 1940's. My family lived close by at 743 Richard Avenue in Verdun. Your mother & I chummed around together as children. Myrtle had a great personality and was very ambitious. She and my Uncle John were at my wedding in April 1958. She entertained us in her Westmount home and later on in her apartment block on L'Acadie Blvd. in the Town of Mount Royal. "

Mary, Sandy, Yvonne

I don't know the first two people. Third from the left is greatgrandmother, Mary (Bolivar) Nosworthy, then Sandy Farr, another unknown, and Yvonne (Nosworthy) Farr, Sandy's mother.

Lolly, Billy

Uncle Lolly and Uncle Billy, 1940s.

Lolly served in an armored division in WW II. His tank was hit in a battle and he was left for dead. After the battle cleared he was found alive but severely burned.

Maybe someone else can fill in more on this incredible story....

Buddy, Granny

Uncle Buddy with his mother, Mary (Bolivar) Nosworthy, in 1940. Buddy was in the RCAF. He joined up as an enlisted man, but was promoted to Lieutenant. He served with a firefighting crew at an Air Force base in Britain in the war.

Buddy & Grace

Uncle Buddy with his wife, Grace (Telford), perhaps when they were still dating. They married in 1939.

Glenn Nosworthy has cleaned up the original photo and I have added it here.

Based on Maralyn's comments on the previous post I am going to assume this was taken at the same time and place. That is at Plattsburgh Beach, New York in 1939. They were at the beach with Peggy and Eddie Johnston.

Peggy & Eddie

Peggy (Harriette Margaret Nosworthy) and her husband, Eddie Johnston. 1930s ??

Their daughter Maralyn adds this:

They are my parents and the photo was taken at Plattsburgh Beach, New York in 1939. They were at the beach with my Uncle Bud & Aunt Grace that day. Bye the way, Uncle Bud & Aunt Grace were my Godparents.

Buddy

Uncle Buddy in 1937. Pretty sharp dresser. He could have been in movies.

Billy and Roy.

Uncle Billy in the 1940s.
