a bit of Cameron history


Here is a photo from the dim and distant past that Elizabeth has in her family collection. It will be of interest to those who have a Cameron grandparent in their family tree. It was taken at George and Doris Thompson's wedding in 1935.

In the photo are:
back row, from the left: George Cameron [later married to Nora], George Thompson, Doris Thompson (nee Cameron), Timothy Duff [Grandpa Duff], Marjory Cameron [Granny Duff], John Cameron [later married to Mabel]

front row, from the right: Josephine and Arthur Thompson [George's parents], Elizabeth Ann Cameron (nee Craggs - Doris and Marjory's mother)

The American branch of the Cameron family commented that YIC looked like Timothy Duff (his grandfather). YIC also thought that he could spot a resemblance between a close relative of his and Marjory Cameron (answers on a five pound note please if you know who this might be).

UPDATE - The American Camerons were not the only one to spot YIC's family resemblance. When James Duff asked his son Matthew who the man in the photo was (pointing to Timothy Duff), Matthew replied: "I know who that is, it's Uncle Johnny".
