Emily Shobbrook (nee Gough) & Thomas Shobbrook (1845 - 1905)
These are my great grandparents. Thomas ran a foundry in Newton Abbot

Lamp post made in Great Grandfather's foundry
This lamp post is in Courtney Park, Newton Abbot and bears the name of Shobbrook. If anyone has or knows of any other ironwork with the name inscribed I would be glad to hear from them.

Lewis Ralph Shobbrook (1886-1960
Lewis Ralph was my grandfather, who was the youngest son of Thomas and Emily. He lived most of his life in Dawlish and had 2 children. Ralph (1914-2008)was my father and his sister was Hazel (1920-2005)

Lewis Ralph Shobbrook and Edith Shobbrook (nee Westcott)with Snatch. I believe this was taken after their wedding in 1912. They began their married life in Bovey Tracey, moving to Dawlish around 1923.

Rosehaugh staff
This photo is of some of the staff at Rosehaugh Estate, Avoch, Inverness, Scotland probably around 1920. My husband's great grandfather (Donald McLeman)was a gardener and is 5th from the right in the 2nd row. William Shobbrook (born 1858) is recorded as having been on the staff as a coachman, certainly up until the end of the Great War. I wonder if he is on this photo? Maybe someone out there knows?
