'Five Sutton Generations - Great Great Grandmother celebrates eightieth birthday' The text of the cutting is below.
A feature is that the parties mentioned in the genealogical 'tree' are all resident in Sutton and with the exception of the youngest member are all are on the maternal side.
In the picture the great great grandmother is holding her great great grandchild. The former is Mrs Harriet Marsh - she did not change her name at her marriage - and was born at Wallstone Place, Sutton eighty years ago. She celebrated her birthday anniversary on Friday and is naturally very proud of the opportunity of being photographed along with her descendants. She is in posession of her faculties, her eyesight being probably her weakest. She has long indulged in the 'weed' and today smokes her pipe with as much seeming enjoyment as a man half her age. Her husband died almost 18 years ago. She had a family of eleven and today resides at Eastfield Side.
