This is the Jack family from Stonefield Road, Blantyre. The Photo was taken in the late 1800s and is shared here by Ken Shaw. James Jack & Agnes Jack (Marshall) pictured had 12 children, 8 in photo, 6 of each sex.
The children emigrated to USA & Australia. Ken told me, “I’m the grandchild of one of the children Agnes
Jack, married to Moses Shaw, coalminer.” It’s a great photo to have, looking back on ancestors. To others reading this article, a great photo if only for the fashions of the time.
Does anybody else here come from a BIG family?
