website)

Malyan and Stuart Lee
An early photo of
Jesse and his wife Rosanna nee Hazelwood, born about 1872
Jesse and Rosanna
later in life.
A later picture of
Jesse and Rosanna. The picture of Jesse was
originally provided by Chris Malyan but was found by Stuart Lee
in a photo album, paired with the photo of Rosanna.
The above was supplied by Helen Brown
and was
originally published on 19 October 1951 in the Cambridge
Independent Press and Chronicle. The date of marriage is given as October 19 1891 - they
actually married in 1892 so either the
newspaper got the date wrong or Jesse and Rosanna celebrated their diamond
wedding a year early.
Victor Minter, born 1900,
son of Jesse and Rosanna Minter
Victor was a casualty of WW1. He died
aged 18 while serving in
The Queen's (Royal West Surrey Regiment), 51st Bn.

This picture, supplied by Pearl Kedge,
was taken about 1900. It is apparently of four aunts of Arthur George
William Minter. They all originated from Boyton and were believed to have
lived in Turners Place, Ipswich.
The names of the ladies in the picture are unknown.
If you can help to identify them please contact John Minter.
The Stebbing family
The Stebbings are related to the Minters via the 1857 marriage between Elizabeth Minter and James Stebbing.
These pictures were provided by Janet Tidman.
John Wesley Stebbing, known as Jack, son of James Stebbing and Elizabeth Minter, at work on the farm at Boyton.
Jack seated, with two of his sons behind - John Wesley, also known as Jack (1892-1978) on the left and William James
(Bill) (1902-1986), on the right. Jack's uniform perhaps belongs to some sort of territorial force as
he did not fight in the First World War, whereas his son Jack did fight in the trenches of the Western Front, where he was gassed.
Jack at the Mary Warner Almshouses, Boyton, sometime after Alice's death.
