There have been previous posts concerning Susan and her husband William HOOKINS who lived at Pawlett in Somerset. Here we see Susan standing outside the family home. Whether the neighbours were intended to be included in the photograph is debatable but they were obviously interested in what was going on! Photograph possibly taken in the early 1900s.
Walter was one of Susan's sons born in 1887. He married Emma Gertrude HOLMES in 1922 and they lived in Yorkshire where together they ran The Daisy Hill Home.
Another of Susan's sons was Samuel born in 1881 in Huntspill in Somerset. He married Alice Lily PHELPS in Pawlett Village Church in 1909 when Walter (above) was one of the witnesses. Samuel was recorded as being a Gardener but he is pictured here on the right in what seems to be the uniform of the omnibus company of the day possibly as the driver. Is he posing with his ticket collector or is that another passenger to add to the ladies and child already on board. Are there any omnibus officianados out there?
