Sepia Saturday #60
Happy SS to all.
I have been searching for photos as I do my Ancestry.Com research and came up with an old, old photo.
I know it is blurry, but I had to enlarge and not too good with the enhancement tools yet.
This is Margaret Dame Browning my 10th ggmother.
Born in 1520 in Chelmaford, Essex, England
Died in 1625 in Hunsdon, Hertfordshire, Endland.

Now that is going way back.
She was the daughter of
Chelmsford De Browning born in 1494 in Essex, England.
Could not find mother's name.
She married Sir Thomas Foster (1515-1599) in
1545.
I could find no mother for her and lots about Sir Thomas Foster.

Oh wow, that's a long way back! Just imagine all the people involved in that family tree!
My goodness you have managed to get back a long way. That must be the oldest Sepia Sat ancestor picture we have ever had!
1520? Goodness, now I feel like a newcomer to the block! LOL
My goodness: all of the way back to Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. I wonder where that painting is located these days?
When I first started finding these ancestors, I thought can I be sure but if you know anything about Ancestry.Com you now it can be verified and the sources are there. Sometimes you do have to make a decision if there is more than one name attached to a story. But I am learning how to use it well. Give it a try sometime. It costs a yearly subscription but it is worth it.

Amazing ancestry! One of these days, I'm going on a hunt, too.
First, thank you for the nice comment on my SS last week! Being from America I am so interested in everything from far across the big pond as they call it sometimes! This is a remarkable photo and wow you have gone back so very far! I too am looking into our ancestors and only hope to get this kind of find someday! Thanks for sharing her! Have a blessed day! Oops great blog header photo too!
Blurry or not that is a very old picture! 1520!! What is a yeoman? Not unusual to find more about the men than the women.
I too spend hours on Ancestry.com and have learned a lot, still digging there.
Your new blog design is colorful! Is that a self portrait?
that is way back!
How interesting - to reach back across time and know that there's a little of her in you!
How great to have a picture of someone from so long ago. Very interesting to find out these things about your family, isn't it.
I've thought about Ancestory.com, but haven't joined yet.
You DO get the prize for the oldest "photo"! How wonderful to be able to trace your family back that far.
Not sure if my first comment will get to you, a glitch in the old computer! So I'll recomment! Thanks for your nice comment last week on my SS post. Yours today is quite remarkable and I only hope to actually go back this far too! Amazing isn't it who are ancestors were!
Wow, that does go a long way back. Amazing!
Yow, that beats me by a few years, but my Elizabethan ancestors weren't high-falutin' enough to have their portraits painted!
I just know if I did a search I'd discover nothing but horse thieves. Scottish horse thieves.
What a wonderful photo! You inspire me to keep plucking away in my family search, 1520! thats so amazing. Good Job :)
I'm Impressed! I cant go much further back than 3 generations!
You really are heading way back into the past. I can't get that far, but I guess I haven't tried.
