The original snapshot, cleaned up from a scan of the print. The date is not known; her hairstyle and ankle-strap platform shoes suggest the mid to late 1940s. |

 | UWIST collage, Cardiff, about 1983-85
A large collage made for Marjorie by a fellow student at UWIST (the University of Wales Institute of Science and Technology) in Cardiff, where she studied as a mature student. It combines photographs of Marjorie and her classmates with Cardiff postcards and mementoes, among them the UWIST Aerobic Club 1983-84 and the Economics Society Dinner and Dance at the Angel Hotel, Cardiff, on 8 February 1985. The framed original was beginning to fade, so Craig had it professionally scanned at 400 dpi (about 27 by 19 inches); this is a reduced copy of that scan.

 | Private Harold Sydney Bushby - AI-enhanced and colourised impression of his WWI portrait
AI-ENHANCED IMAGE - NOT A PHOTOGRAPH. Made in October 2026 by Craig Walsh with ChatGPT from the grainy halftone portrait held by the City of Fremantle Local History Centre (see the original image on this page). It is meant to suggest what Harold probably looked like; the AI has filled in detail that the original does not contain, so the fine features, skin and colours are a best guess.
Known errors: the cap badge, collar and buttons have been drawn as British flaming-grenade badges. As a private in the 11th Battalion, Australian Imperial Force, Harold would have worn the AIF Rising Sun badge and plain Commonwealth buttons.

 | Private Harold Sydney Bushby, 11th Battalion AIF - portrait about 1915-1918 (original)
This is the historical image: a newspaper-style halftone portrait of Harold in uniform and peaked cap, as held by the City of Fremantle Local History Centre in its "Fremantle Soldiers, Sailors and Nurses of the Great War" collection. The grain comes from the printing screen, not from damage.
Courtesy of the City of Fremantle Local History Centre (https://history.fremantle.wa.gov.au/nodes/view/21055), which also has a full biography of Harold. Shown on this family history site with thanks and credit to the Centre.

 | Bruno Wyser and Elise Schoenhals - marriage, and Ida Alice Wyser - baptism - German Evangelical Church, Montevideo, 3 Feb 1869 (full register pages, with the Estudio Batres Franzese cover letter of 6 Nov 2008)
Seven pages, obtained for Craig by Arq. Maria Gabriela Batres, Estudio Batres Franzese, Buenos Aires (cover letter 6 Nov 2008), from the registers of the Congregacion Evangelica Alemana (German Evangelical Church), Montevideo.
MARRIAGE REGISTER 1869 ("Aufgebotene und Getraute", pp. 105-106), entry 3: Bruno Wyser of Solothurn, Switzerland, Catholic; father Zeughausverwalter (arsenal administrator) in Solothurn; aged 27; parents' consent given by letter. Bride Elise Schoenhals of Simmersbach, Grand Duchy of Hesse; father Johannes Schoenhals, Pfarrer (pastor) in Simmersbach; aged 25. Married on the third of February 1869 (3.2.1869) by Pastor Hoppe. Witnesses: 1. Louis Frey, 2. Leo Tugginer.
BAPTISM REGISTER ("Geborene und Getaufte", entries for 1868-69), no. 51/3: Ida Alice, born 30 Oct 1867 at 6 in the evening, UNEHELICH (born out of wedlock); father Bruno Wyser, Landwirth (farmer), of Solothurn, Switzerland; mother Elise, born Schoenhals, of Simmersbach, Grand Duchy of Hesse; parents living in Montevideo; baptised 3 February [1869] by Pastor Hoppe. Godparents: 1. Eugen Funke (in Vertretung Louis Frey), 2. Otto Wyser (in Vertretung Leo Tugginer), 3. Alice Cartier (in Vertretung Elise Wyser, born Schoenhals).
The cover letter dates the marriage 4 Feb 1869, but the register itself says 3 February, the same day as Ida's baptism. Readings corrected 2 Nov 2026 against the earlier translation on media 520-521: the pastor was Hoppe (not Hopper), the witnesses Louis Frey (not Freyo) and Leo Tugginer (not Fugginer; Tugginer is an old Solothurn family name). |

 | Page 1 - Minnie Frost James 1977 Letter
Family letter by Aunt Min, Minnie Alexandra (Frost) James (1902-2004), c1977. Pages 2-5 survive; page 1 and the last page are missing. Summary of this page (2 Nov 2026):
Her father's parents (the reader's great-great-grandparents Frost): she was a Somerset country woman; he came from Kent and, according to her father, was a ne'er-do-well whose family paid him to stay away: lazy, good-natured, weak and easily led. His wife brought up the large family. Her father (John Frost) left home early and was apprenticed to a tailoring firm in Bristol. He was treated so badly that at 17 or 18 he ran away to Newport, to a firm whose advertisement he had seen in a newspaper. He asked the way of a pretty girl with golden curls down her back, her mother (Minnie Parker). Minnie's mother pitied the lonely boy; they went to the same church, she invited him to Sunday lunch, and he became one of the family.
Records: John's parents were Andrew and Harriet Frost of Taunton. In 1881 John, 16, was an inmate of Kingswood Reformatory near Bristol, very probably the "apprenticeship" (inference). |

 | Page 2 - Minnie Frost James 1977 Letter
Family letter by Aunt Min, Minnie Alexandra (Frost) James (1902-2004), c1977. Pages 2-5 survive; page 1 and the last page are missing. Summary of this page (2 Nov 2026):
Minnie Parker's mother's maiden name was MORGAN (Sarah Ann Morgan). She was said to descend from the old Princes of Wales and was proud of it; a forebear served under Nelson on the Victory, so that branch was called "the Victory Morgans". She had friends in landed and titled families but had married beneath her: they called in their carriages but had nothing to do with her husband Clement Parker, and dropped the family when she died in 1902. One of them, "Lady Lyons - or perhaps Lines", was godmother to Minnie. Most of this came from "Auntie Louisa, my mother's sister".
Records: Sarah Ann Parker's death is probably the one indexed Jul-Sep 1902, Axbridge (Weston-super-Mare), age 58. The noble connections are unsupported; her father was a collier. |

 | Page 3 - Minnie Frost James 1977 Letter
Family letter by Aunt Min, Minnie Alexandra (Frost) James (1902-2004), c1977. Pages 2-5 survive; page 1 and the last page are missing. Summary of this page (2 Nov 2026):
Clement and Sarah had a large family, including twins who died in infancy. Girls: Minnie (the eldest), Louisa, Alice, Sarah and Gertrude. Boys: George and Alfred, and the twin sons. GEORGE was meant to be a teacher but stowed away on a ship to the West Indies, helped the captain in a mutiny and did well. He went to Ceylon and India, was librarian and secretary to a Maharajah, then joined the Indian Civil Service, became an engineer and helped build the Punjab canals. He married, had several children and died young, about 1906; his family went back to her people and contact was lost. ALFRED worked in London and had 9 children (5 boys, 4 girls); the family lost touch when they moved out of London.
Records: George married Gertrude Verschoyle Rose at Umballa in 1901, had three children 1902-05, and died at Tonk, Rajputana, on 2 May 1906, State Engineer, aged 31. |

 | Page 4 - Minnie Frost James 1977 Letter
Family letter by Aunt Min, Minnie Alexandra (Frost) James (1902-2004), c1977. Pages 2-5 survive; page 1 and the last page are missing. Summary of this page (2 Nov 2026):
Cousin FRANK, now in Adelaide, was Auntie SARAH's only surviving child; she married an Irishman. Auntie LOU never married. Aunt GERTIE died tragically young, a talented musician and artist; the writer was "only about 4 or 5" (really nearly 8: Gertie died in 1910). Aunt ALICE married a schoolmaster, Jack Thomas, and had a son and two daughters. "Your grandfather Bailey... your Mum can tell you all she knows." The reader's grandmother spoke of visits to great-aunts who were Quakers in Weston-super-Mare, probably Clement Parker's aunts.
Records: Sarah's other child was probably Horace Parker Wilson, born and died 1912 in Birkenhead. |
