The photograph above is
of Joseph Hindle, born 1843 at Cowling, the
Grandson of Sarah Smith (married 19.4.1813 to
James Hindle at Kildwick).
Joseph Hindle, my
great grandfather, is the man on the far left of
the photo, holding his camera and tripod, with a bowler hat
and moustache.
His parents James Hindle,
bapt.11.10.1818 at Ickornshaw Methodist and Jane, nee Thornton married at Kildwick on 28.8.1842,
moved to Bramley, Leeds in 1844.
He was a member of Leeds
Photographic Society for some years, until his
death in 1914 at Bramley. This photo was taken in
1884 at Roundhay Park, Leeds. It was sent to us in
1978 by the Society and my Dad, who was then
living with us here from England, in his old age,
and knew his Grandad well, having died when he was
14 years of age, recognised him immediately.
