MORE SIGLEYS

My grandmother apparently had a large family of siblings, many of whom she did not spend much time with because she was primarily raised by her aunt and uncle, the Hartpences. From what I understand, she remained close to only one of her sisters. At what age she left her parent's house to be raised elsewhere, I don't know. But there is photographic evidence that she was probably ten or eleven, perhaps, before she left for her new home. I knew/know almost nothing of the Sigley side of the family. Here are a few photographs that they might enjoy, if they see them, and they are welcome to flesh out their stories, or correct anything I have guessed at.

Here we have my grandmother Lillian standing in the center. She looks to be around nine, I would guess, so this shot is possibly around 1921? The woman on her right is identified as Mary. Possibly a much-older sister, or some other female relative. The girl on her left, I think, might be a sister named Agnes.

This is her brother Harry Sigley. I know little about him, although I have seen some information that indicates he fought in the Army in World War II, might have worked for New Jersey Corrections, and possibly lived until 2006. I will correct if new info comes in. Nevertheless, he is a dapper young man, with a nice face and smile, and I love the socks.

Here Harry stands with his brothers, Bobby and Jack. They might be misidentified, however, because to me the middle boy looks more like Harry.

Here are two more young Sigley boys, neither of which I know, who look to have been much younger brothers of Lillian. Dave on the left and John on the right. This picture is dated 1931, but after the fact, so it might be wrong.

MYSTERY SIGLEYS

Grandmother Tidd was originally Lillian Morley Sigley. This photograph, taken around 1921, identifies the gentleman as Granddad Sigley (I think my father must have made the notation), but in pencil it is just "Dad", possibly written by Lillian. The girl is identified only as Alice, which may mean she is a great aunt? She has appeared in other shots. Is she therefore Alice Sigley? I find it interesting that in pictures of my great aunt Janet from the same period, she sports a very similar hair style. I think it is called a "bob." Obviously they are up on a roof in a city.
