1937 Anna Marie HARSANT (photo)

This is my mother’s cousin’s mother. She was born in Oslo, Norway and she married my mother’s uncle, Harry (Baldwin) GODFREY and she ran the local Gliding Club Private Bar in Cramlington, Northumberland, up until the beginning of WW2.
Note the huge pipe she is smoking!!
29 Oct 09.
I’ve just check her out on the internet and found out it was her mother, of the same name, that was born in Tonsberg in Norway and she was born local here near Newcastle

1937 Anna Marie HARSANT (photo) belongs to the following groups:

"Exceptional Ekphrasis", North East England and The Family Album, (Pics From the Past ONLY)
