This is a selection of pictures that were contained in a wee green photo album. The pictures are all postcard size and some are of members of the Sinclair and Connor families. I have not added any information to these, but will do so over the next few days. If you can identify any of the people or places in these pictures, please let me know.
The pictures were all in the album which belonged to a family member. Therefore I would guess that all these pictures were of family or friends and had some connection to the Sinclair or Connor families. The football team picture is Banff (Canada) Football Club. I have emailed Banff City Council Historical department to see if they have any information. The photographer was a well known photographer in the Banff area around 1900.
