Family history. George Humble was a distant relative by marriage. A relative of mine was his second wife who George married in 1890. On the Scottish marriage certificate his mother's maiden name was given as Joicey. Would like to trace a photograph for my family file and background information. Can exchange information regarding Sarah Ann his second wife. Pat
