In researching our Frost family I found that Ada Frost married Harry Dixon an artist and sculptor, who was the son of Henry Dixon a well known photographer in the 1880-90`s with his own photographers shop in Albany Street St.Pancras. Also one of Henry`s daughters Alice Dixon married an Augustus Le Plongeon who had quite a varied career and after they married they went off and studied the history of the Mayan people in South America (I think) but that is all way over my head.

I think that all my family were brought here from a Galaxy Far Far Away! Can you guess that I am hitting brick walls at the moment

Well I was always told I was related to the actress Mary Moore (who became Lady Wyndham) but her Father was born in Ireland and all my lot seem to be from London or/and Kent, so that would seem to be the end of that! But, on the other side, I have a tenuous link to Prime Minister Gladstone and a Goalen who was deported for embezzlement!!! I am still trying to find out where to!! Happy New Year to Everybody!

My Great Grandfather was awarded 2medals for services to the medical profession, he helped find immunisation against I think whooping cough and diptheria, but I could be wrong what the alements were. It is great to see what claims other people have. Regards Rachael
