My grandfather, Matthew Simpson, is in the centre of the second row, behind the seated row. He was born in 1890, a bricklayer by trade. He worked and lived in Burnley, Lancashire. The second photograph is of Matthew, his wife Maggie and their daughter, my mother Mary Irene. I believe this photo was taken about 1916 in Sheffield where he had been hospitalised. He passed passed away in 1955.
