  1. Might the above photo be of Margaret Jean Rogers, my grandmother??
    I have photos of her and some friends in Cobalt in 1909 and 1910.
    Her maiden name was Quibell.

    1. The name inscribed on the photo by my great grandfather is indeed Mrs. Rogers so could well be your grandmother

    1. If you look at the left side you will see a link to charleshtaylor.blogspot.com it is all about Cobalt and my great grandfather.

  3. Thankyou very much. I enjoyed reading about your great grandfather. I am intrigued by the few photos that I have of my grandmother in Cobalt. They are all dated 1909-10. All the girls and gentlemen are dressed 'to the nines' in stark contrast to their rugged surroundings.

    1. I think what amazed me most was the fact that they had an Opera House. As you say both the men and women dressed in their finest even when out for a boat ride.
