Sadly Pats darlin' - I don't have one - Dragon had a big black plastic sack of family photos but when she died a couple of years ago I think my Sister ( who was Dragon's executor) disposed of all the family photos. I don't have any room for any of them here anyway.

Re: Suffragette
Well having seen the docu, my feeling was 'yes' she did attempt suicide. I think the 'torture' she endured had psychological damage, also the heroine for them was 'Joan of Arc' especially for Emily .....I think she felt it was her last option, nothing else had made an impact .....09-06-2013, 12:42 AM

Re: Suffragette
We have a young women's shelter here called Annie Kenny House and my service club provided some funds for them. That's when I found out that Annie Kenny was also a famous suffragette. She was imprisoned and force fed with Sylvia Pankhurst and came from my home count of Yorkshire. Amazing women and most of today's young women know nothing about them.Article here:
