photo 38  is a most interesting photo, as it brings together some members of the Australian and the English branches of William and Sarah (Mason)'s descendants. The Australian soldier on the left is George Adamthwaite, a son of William and Mary Jane (Houghton), who had been sent back to blighty to recuperate from war wounds. Before returning to the front in France, he visited his cousins in Co Durham, and this photo shows Richard Adamthwaite (son of James and Ann) on the far right, together with a close family friend Billy Collins

photo 43 is John Adamthwaite Hutchinson (1853-1919), who was a grandson of Hannah Adamthwaite who married Richard Burrell
