Summary
Members of the Cradley Hingley and Cartwright families at Cuckoo's Corner, Park Lane, Cradley, 1870. Jim Hicks has helped us identify two of the people on this photograph that we published on "old" Cradley Links some years ago, in a Portrait Gallery of Cradley people from yesteryear.

The picture was given to Jill Guest by Bridget Cox's father, with others which he found when clearing out a relatives house. This was the only one with anything written on the back: "Cuckoos Corner, Park Lane, Cradley 1870. Left to right: Myra Hingley, Lucy Cartwright, Mr & Mrs Hingley, Joe Cartwright"

Jim adds: "From my records I could add that Myra (whom I have as Mirah) was born in 1847 in Cradley, her sister Lucy Hingley born in 1844, also in Cradley. Mr. and Mrs. Hingley (from the Gallery page) would be Benjamin Hingley, born 1813 in Cradley, and [his wife] Hannah Wynham, born 1814, again in Cradley. Benjamin's father is James Hingley, and his brother, Samuel (born 1807), is my great great grandfather and the father of Joseph, our 1911 traveller. That would make Benjamin my 2nd great grand uncle. Lucy Hingley and Joseph Cartwright were married 17 October, 1875, St. Mary's, Old Swinford, Worchestershire."
