This morning I found this lovely old photograph in my local op-shop and was overjoyed to find their names on the back. It was most probably from a deceased estate as I wouldn’t have thought a family member would give it away. Photographer is R E Bell of Ngaruawahia, New Zealand. Because the photo is framed I couldn’t get a very good copy of it, it wouldn’t scan and the photos all show reflections in the glass, this was the best I could do.
It seems the BOUSIE surname is not common in New Zealand and the first registered births of that name are the children of John & Annie (upto 1922 only).
1917/19737
Bousie, Eleanor, Mother: Annie, Father: John.
1919/14329
Bousie, Bruce Henry, Mother: Annie, Father: John.
The names on the back are:-
John and Annie Bousie (née Henry)
Annie Henry’s parents: William & Annie Henry (née Cheyne)
Annie Cheyne’s parents: John & Ellen Cheyne (née Henry)
