Flo,Stuart Champion Jones and friends. Ceylon 1924
This is Florence and husband Stuart Champion-Jones Ceylon 1924.
Far left is a young man named Alexander. Next to him sitting on a raised stone plinth is A.T. Sydney Smith. Next is Florence herself then Dorothy Gale. Far right is Mr Langford Smith. Stuart sits on the ground at the front.
Florence writs 'sitting on the Queen's big stone sort of throne on top of Sigirga Rock. Notice how they used to make their stone steps and propped them up on wooden poles. Wonderfully preserved and all ....' not decipherable.
Stuart was an engineer and had an engineering firm in Ceylon.
Are the Smiths or Dorothy Gale your ancestors? What relation is Alexander to the Smiths. Look in your old folks albums...perhaps they are your great or great great grandparents.

The mystery,history and Archive of the Harveys of Bristol, a wealthy Victorian family 1866 to 1937.
The mystery is how this original personal family archive belonging to Florence Harvey came to be found in my deceased mother's house in Essex ten years ago.
Florence was living in Sri Lanka in the 1930's so how did it arrive in England and why did my mother have it?
My great aunt may have brought it back to England but why was it not returned to the Harvey family?
Does this Victorian family not have descendents to whom it could have been returned?
Why do the documents,archives and photos cease about 1937 when Florence Harvey's mother died?
The Harvey family have no connection to my own family.
It is our intention to return the Harvey family archive to Florence's descendents if they can be found.
Read their story on my eBay blog jeannchris and see their images here through time from 1866 to 1937.
