Neal

132_3252 Far right is Nita(?) or possibly Freda Neal. Others not known.	132_3256 Freda Alice Neal (my maternal grandmother) on the left, and Eric Jack Melville on the right. Joan McNaught says "We always called him Bon, he is brother of Alan who was brought up after his mother's death by our Grandmother Edith and his uncle my Dad Ted Norgrove."	132_3257 Nita (daughter of John Neal and Kate). She died young, about age 9.
132_3277 Nita on the steps of Lucknow. Kate called her Little Petty, and that is Kate's writing. I recognise it myself.	133_3336 Nita's grave in Seddon cemetery.	132_3281 Freda Alice Neal (my maternal grandmother) and her two brothers (Algy and Rangi). Probably riding off to school. Taken at Lucknow.
132_3282 Freda Alice Neal (my maternal grandmother) and her two brothers (Algy and Rangi), at Burnlea (place is written on the photo).	132_3283 Freda Alice Neal (my maternal grandmother) and her brother Rangi.	132_3288 Freda Alice Neal, back row, 2 from left. Possibly her university class. She stayed at Studholm Hall in Dunedin.
132_3289 Freda Alice Neal, with her horse (either Tiny or Trixie). She used to ride in shows, and was a good horsewoman.	132_3293 Nita (possibly Freda) in the hay.	Freda Freda Alice Neal on the front steps of Lucknow (note the shadow of the decoration which identifies this as Lucknow). Mum says you had to be careful because the wooden steps could give you splinters in your bum.
133_3319 Freda Alice Neal	Freda Freda, Algy, Rangi and Nita, on the lawn at Burnlea. Writing is by Freda when older.	133_3340 My guess is Freda Alice and Nita in the carriage. Maybe, maybe not.
133_3341 Children of John Neal from two marriages: from left, Marion, Lena, Norman supporting Algy. In front, Freda and Rangi.	Neals Photo taken at Burnlea. Moustache at back is John Frederick Neal, and Kate is with the hat, holding Nita. Man at back on right is Norman, and girl in middle with hat is Freda. Lady on the left is possibly Marion (half-sister of Freda). Girl at front right with hat is possibly Lena. The other two boys are Algy and Rangi, but not sure which is which.	133_3342 Freda Alice on the horse, Algy and Rangi in the carriage.
Freda Freda Alice Neal with one of her brothers (probably Algy), on the front steps of Lucknow.	Burnlea Burnlea again, identified by the verandah decoration.	Burnlea People are unidentified (almost certainly Freda, Algy, Rangi and Nita and one other), but photo taken at Burnlea, because of the verandah decoration.
133_3348 The famous Garden Party at Lucknow.	The Garden Party Taken from the front steps of Lucknow, looking towards the front gate. The circular rose garden is partly obscured on the left. Mum remembers The Garden Party as a great occasion, but has no idea what the occasion was. Possibly held before Algy went to the war.	Garden Party Another shot of the famous Garden Party, with the rose garden right in front.
Mum et al Mum (front left), then Valerie, then the Dollar girls (from a neighbouring farm). Taken on the occasion of the Garden Party on the front steps of Lucknow shortly before the war.	Kate? Somebody in the rose garden at Lucknow.	Lucknow Lucknow. Road coming in from the front gate.
133_3322 Lucknow	Lucknow Identified by the verandah decoration. That's how we tell the difference between photos at Burnlea and those at Lucknow. Note the circular rose garden in the foreground, and the car, one of the first in the district.	133_3367 Mum and Dad took this photo of Lucknow from the road, and gave it to Kate as a memento.
