Here are the same family again but in photographs and probably about 1855. The old lady is thought to be Elizabeth WINGETT nee BROWNE (1786-1862), their mother. Each of these thumbnail photographs links to both the full size photo and its reverse where relevant.

Dates of these photos
It was quite difficult to date the photos above because, if you read through the advice on Roger Vaughan's Date a Carte de Visite Photograph website, then the photo seems to have been taken after the known date of death. Moreover, the photo on the right is thought to be of Anne Browne WINGETT the brothers' sister who lived from 1817-1885. But the later date of the photo (late 1870s probably) would make her 60 or more in the photo and she just doesn't look that old. Click on the thumbnail to see the full size portrait and its reverse. The solution to these problems (kindly supplied by Roger Vaughan) are further discussed on my photo-dating problems page. |

On the back of this faded photo was written:
The photographer's name on the front of the photo says WILLIS MANCHESTER. We think this was probably taken not long before the younger Selina's marriage to Richard SNOW in 1876. Richard was a widower and both he and Selina's brother John were coal merchants in Exeter at this time and I suspect John arranged the marriage for her. This photograph may even have been taken in Manchester and sent to the future groom in Devon so that he could make up his mind? The younger Selina was the eldest daughter of William Philip Greenaway WINDEATT and his wife Selina (formerly JARMAN). Mrs. WINDEATT had twelve children that we know of: three boys, followed by eight girls and then another boy. Three of the children died in infancy but the other nine survived. This photo was kindly supplied by a descendant. |
| Selina WINDEATT (formerly JARMAN), born 18/19/1820, Exeter died 25/02/1891, Manchester |
Selina WINDEATT (later SNOW) baptised 13/04/1845, Exeter married 25/03/1876 to Richard SNOW (when she was almost 30). |
 |
Selina's grandson (one of many!) Thomas Alfred WINDEATT (born
9/03/19975 in Exeter) joined first the police (as did his elder brother
William Robert WINDEATT) and then the Fire Service.
Here he is standing at the back on the left of the photo. This photo and Thomas Alfred's Service record was kindly supplied by a correspondent. |
