West Pennard Church, Somerset
West Pennard church in Somerset is typical of the style of Somerset churches. This was the main local church for generations of Talbot's in the 18th and 19th century.
Croscombe Church, Somerset
Croscombe Church was the local parish church of the Talbot's in the 19th and 20th century. My grandmother and grandfather were married in this church and three prior generations are buried here.
Hebe Horler (nee Talbot)
My grandmother Hebe Florence Horler. This picture was taken on her holiday in Cornwall in the mid 1980's. See Horler pictures for more photos of my grandmother with her family.
Albert Vincent
On the right is 'uncle Alb' as he is called by my mum. He and Mags Vincent (nee Talbot) adopted my grandmother Hebe when her mother died in 1919. Mags was my nan's eldest half- sister. This picture is taken at their house in Croscombe and the other person is Ted Vincent his nephew. Ted was Canadian and flew bombers in the Second World War. He is here in his RAF uniform (or is it RCAF?). Ted survived numerous missions including many over Germany but was sadly killed in one of his first domestic flights when he returned to Canada after the war.
