Group Photo of Richard Culbert, His Niece Rebecca (Crawley) Brock and Others

Thanks to Lorne Floyd Brock of Wallaceburg, Ontario for this photo of a gathering of Culberts.

The photo above shows a gathering of at least two branches of the John Culbert - Mary Ward family. We're not sure of the year but I'm guessing it's around 1921.

Here's a closer look...

We couldn't identify everyone in the photo but here's who we recognize:

The Susan Culbert-Philip Crawley Branch is represented by Rebecca (Crawley) Brock (1860-1933) as seen here...

Rebecca (Crawley) Brock was the daughter of Susan Culbert and Philip Crawley of Biddulph Township near Lucan, Ontario. Rebecca was married to William Heber Brock. Rebecca and William and their children lived in Lobo Township, Ontario. The Brock family is covered in more detail in this previous post.

The Richard Culbert-Jane Fairhall Branch is represented by the following people in the photo:

Richard Culbert (1853-1932) and his wife, Jane Eleanor (Fairhall) Culbert...

Richard Culbert was the uncle of Rebecca (Crawley) Brock who you saw in the previous photo. Richard was the brother of Rebecca's mother, Susan (Culbert) Crawley.

Over on the far right of the photograph, we see Myron Manford Culbert (1884-1961) of Biddulph Township who was the son of Richard Culbert and Jane Eleanor Fairhall...

Myron's wife, Effie Pearl (Taylor) Culbert is also in the photo...

Does anyone know who the children belong to? I wondered if they were the first four children of Myron and Effie. I asked my cousin, Phil Culbert for his opinion. Phil colourized the photo as you can see, below. Colourizing the photo enhanced the features of their faces enough that Phil was confident in saying that these are not the children of Myron and Effie...

Do you recognize anyone else in this photo? If so, please contact me, Mary Jane Culbert at this email address...
