Uploaded to AncientFaces is a photo of Gertrude's brother, Alan Tobin. Gertrude was born "Alice Gertrude Tobin" March 23, 1895 in Mill Valley, CA to John Franklin Tobin and Alice May Sims. Gertrude's father, John Tobin, died young in 1906 and her mother Alice remarried to Frank Leathe, a plumber...the family moved to Sausalito, and can be found in the 1910 census, along with little brother John.
Photo found in an antique store. I am not a relative of the person in the picture.


Alan had a sister, Gertrude Tobin, who also has a photo uploaded on AncientFaces
Alan Tobin was born May 31, 1896 in Mill Valley, CA. to John Franklin Tobin and Alice May Simes. He can be found in the 1910 US Census living with his sister, mother and step-father, Frank Leathe, a plumber in Sausalito. Though the photo says "Alan Guy Tobin" I have found this little fellow as "Charles Alan Tobin" in family research.

I found this picture in an antique shop in Penetangushene Ontario in July of 2009. On the back is written "Mr. Tobin and family Hackbridge" The only Hackbridge found on a google search is a subway stop on the London underground. The 1901 census shows the following family that are a good match for the older children in the photo. It helps that in the photo they have arranged the older child in order of age. Daniel and Jessie married in 1885 and by 1901 had 7 children. The photo has 15, so 8 more have been born. At an average of one every two years this picture was probably taken around 1917. Daniel was born in 1867 and so was 50. My guess is that the picture may be around 1920 as the boys who were enlistment age do not have their uniforms on and some of them were likely in the war. It being over at the time of the picture meant they were dressed in civilian clothes.
The back row can probably be named accurately in this way;
right to left: Matthew, Jessie, Daniel, Caroline, William, then Annie. Helen is sitting in front of Matthew. The other children will have to be named when the 1911 and 1921 census' show the family. One of them must have had family that moved to Canada for the picture to end up here. Daniel Tobin is the father. Jessie (Bennett) is the mother. I hope a Tobin who recognizes the census lists below will find this picture. Below are some census records and a birth and marriage reference for the Daniel and Jessie.
