A WOMAN in Melksham is searching for a photograph of her great-grandfather, Mark Crook, which was taken of the three oldest men in Beanacre in around 1897.
Helen came across an article from 1906 reporting the death of her great-grandfather, Mark Crook, and makes reference to this particular photograph.
The photograph features Mark Crook, Mr Perkins and one other man not mentioned.
Helen said, “Last time i appealed for similar information, the Melksham News readers came up trumps. I wonder if any readers recall this picture or have a copy.”
