The Salvation Army is well know for its Family Tracing Service, which traces and reconciles #family members who have lost contact. This began in the 1880s with missing person adverts and was, in the 1890s known, thrillingly, as The Salvation Army Detective Department!

For #EYAfamily is this notebook where Henderina Scott FLS wrote observations about her children. Darwin similarly kept such a journal on his children’s developments, which he used to help write his book The Expression of the emotions in man and animals (1872).

A mint green card with black writing which reads "St Bartholomew's Hospital Heath Harrison Ward. Patient's Name Mrs Lois Edward Number of Bed 20. Admit one visitor"
A mint green card with black writing which reads "Eggs and Fruit may be brought in for Patients by permission of the Sister of the Ward, but will only be given to the Patients if sanctioned by the Medical Officer. No other article of food or drink will be permitted to be brought to patients. Any person discovered attempting to infringe this Rule will not be allowed to enter the Hospital, and his or her Ticket will be detained or cancelled."
Visitors are an important part of hospitals - bringing provisions and much needed company for patients. This ticket from c.1933, permitted Mrs Edwards family to visit her in hospital. Don't forget, only fruit and eggs permitted!

Black and white photo of a group of people in a field, adults and children, having a picnic. They are dressed in Edwardian clothes.
The Explore Your Archive theme of 'family' made us think of this photo from the archive of Calke Abbey. It looks like a very enjoyable picnic for all generations of the Harpur-Crewe's!

Black and white studio portrait photograph of Eveline Clemo, wearing a dark-coloured dress and seated on a chair, with Jack Clemo, aged four, standing next to her on the chair. Jack is wearing a white outfit with long white socks. The photograph is secured into photograph album corners and has a typed caption: 'with mother at Newquay: 1920.'
Colour photograph, secured with photo album corners, of Jack Clemo and his wife Ruth Clemo outside a cottage (Goonamaris Cottage). Ruth Clemo has her right arm linked through Jack's left arm, and is leaning her head on his shoulder. She is smiling at the camera. Jack is wearing sunglasses and his head is turned left towards Ruth with a smile on his face.
Cornish writer Jack Clemo lost his sight & hearing by the age of 40. His mother Eveline & wife Ruth communicated with him by tracing letters with a fingertip on his hand, describing the world around him, which he in turn captured so vividly in his writing.

Whether her daughter’s’ inheritance, feuding with her niece, or caring for her sick husband, family was everything to Thornton. We’ve seen many docs about Thornton’s family, mostly at North Yorks Archives. @cordeliabeattie.bsky.social says more: https://buff.ly/413EsbS #EYAFamily #EarlyModern 🗃️ 📜
At Hayes, Conyngham & Robinson Pharmaceutical Chemists, family was key to the ethos of how the business was run. It also continued to be managed and run by some of the descendants of the original founders until it was sold to Boots in 1998 #EYAFamily #explorearchives @araireland.bsky.social

Bertha Clayden in the 1919 or 1931 women's uniform with her three brothers in front of a shed in a station yard. From left the brothers are a Sergeant in greatcoat and helmet, an Inspector in a peaked forage cap and a PC in a helmet and greatcoat. She was head of the Met’s female officers from 1922 to 1929.
Perhaps the ultimate example of a #PoliceFamily in our collections is the Claydens. Not only was Alice Bertha our first Woman Inspector with arrest powers, her father, three brothers, husband and stepson were all also Met officers. #EYAfamily #family #ExploreYourArchive
