Dear Mr Borg.
That is my Maternal Grandmother (sitting) in the picture you posted. I don't know who the other lady is. One discrepancy: my Nan died about 1960. I was about 15 years old.
I would like to thank all contributors in my search. I will scrutinise them all tomorrow...an early start beckons. Thank-you all. |

The photo was found in an album by David J Morgan, who name her "Great great Aunt Maud Fast".
You should pursue their marriage record.

I don't think this photo is attached to Hilda.

Addressed to David J Morgan:
I note in your flickr postings three photographs mentioning the Venner's...another coincidence..? I had an Aunt Christine known as Chrissie, Maud's 3rd child. She would have been born in the early 1900's. My point, She married a John Venner. I believe they spent some time in India. When coming back to England Auntie Chrissie had TB (tuberculosis). She died of this disease in 1947. She is buried in Ramsgate cemetery. (My Mother Daisy and I regularly placed flowers on her grave). I believe she also had a son John..? What is your connection with the Venner's David...are we related by marriage..? Interesting..! |

How did you address this message to David J Morgan? Did you find his email address or contact info on flickr? David J Morgan is not a member of http://www.norwayheritage.com, so he will not see your message if you only posted it here. He has a website though, but page with contact info is not working: http://www.djmorgan.org.uk/

Thank-you Jan Peter. It was a stab in the dark really hoping a kind soul (you) would assist.
I find this site fascinating and members so ready to help a novice like me.
Thank-you all. |

It is neccesary (or a big advantage) to have date and year of birth.

Do you have any idea of where and when they could have married? Finding a marriage record could be of great value. Maybe his father is listed, maybe his date of birth is listed, or even better; maybe his hometown in Norway is listed.
Was he really known in England as CHRISTAIN? It sounds like a misspelling of Christian. If not, his name in Norway must have been Christen.
Thompson could be Thomassen/Tomassen in Norway.
What is your source for the lastname Tromm?
