Charlie Percival Vince & Other Goodies

April 9, 2016

This is the only letter I have found from it's author, Charles (Charlie) Percival Vince. He was my 1st cousin 2x removed, son of my Great Grandmother Alice's brother William. He was sixteen years old when he sent this letter to Alice. It was such a delicious letter to read. Simply chock-ful of nuggets that led to other nuggets about my ancestor's lives. It's amazing how much one letter can fill in the gaps.

A Family Day at Saltair Beach & A Vintage 1910s Swimsuit

June 11, 2014

Another gem of a family snapshot. The photo was taken July 31st 1917 at Saltair Beach. All Dad's side of the family. Details from the back of the card: 2nd row center - lady with glasses - Alice Vince Pinborough. 2nd row Hilda E. Pinborough - far right holding Walter H. Pinborough. Front row - John V. Pinborough at far right.

In an old steamer trunk - we also found what we believe is the swimsuit that Alice was wearing in this photo.
