Photo credits:
Historical photos on these pages were taken mainly by my parents, Grandparents, other family members or even professionally.
[Some later photos on this page are by Muriel Blayney (Mum); prints digitised by me or by Lucy Harrison.]

These Carruthers pages are dedicated to my Grandmother Arlie Potter née Carruthers shown on the right holding me as a 6 month old baby. She was always quietly in the backgroud, knitting us cardigans and watching us grow. There was always that gentle expectation that we would grow into good Christian adults. I hope I haven't disappointed her in moving past reliance on structured religion (aka "Post-Christian") in order to try to be ethical, kind and considerate.
Note the use of the word "try"!

Most photographs on this site are available for you to use with these simple conditions  

Please note that decisions on which photos I included in this collection were based more on quality (and humour) with less emphasis on their historic value, equity or representation. If you have any historic family photos you think could or should be included, please send a full size scan to me. I can clean up cracks, spots, exposure (to a degree) and poor fraiming but I can't fix poor focus or rubbish content!
