Doctor Dorothy Parkin, Cousin Of Arthur Barraclough, As A Young Child



Dorothy Parkin was the daughter of Arthur Barraclough's 'Aunty Louie.' As Arthur's cousin, she was also Peter Barraclough's cousin once removed.

When Arthur Barraclough had left Cleckheaton, West Yorkshire, with his mother, Mary, a war widow, they briefly had lodgings at a house in Grosvenor Road, Manningham.  The pair were obviously living there in September 1923, when this postcard was sent from Mary's sister, Louise to her nephew.

Dorothy grew up to be a doctor who specialised in blood disorders, however in this photo, those days were still far away as she plays happily on the beach at Great Yarmouth.
