Apparently the dapper man with the moustache in this family portrait from 1900 is Robert Payne, my great-great uncle, a tailor with a Stroud company called the Holloway Brothers. Whatever else happened, he obviously made sure his family was well-turned out. My Dad tells me of the mixed fortunes awaiting the children in the picture:

"Oldest daughter was Florence ("Florrie"– the only one of these I knew) – she married a chap called Townsend who was a Metropolitan Policeman for some years and then a publican, and such a pleasant husband that Florrie divorced him on grounds of persistent cruelty and violence – and an attempt to set fire to her while she was sitting on her sofa. Next daughter was Beatrice – nothing known. Then came Alfred who married happily and lived in Gloucester. Then little Gertrude, engaged to be married when she died of consumption, aged 21."
