L-R: Marjorie (Goodison) Girvan, Christine Oakley, Bill Goodison and Anne Goodison. Marjorie (Goodison) Girvan was the daughter of John R. Goodison (1866-1926), Speaker of the House, who was the grandson of John Rorke (1807-1896). John R. Goodison's father was married to Elizabeth Ann Rorke, John Rorke's daughter. Marjorie married Melvin Girvan. Her sister was Yvonne Elizabeth (Goodison) Robertson. The Rorke Family Photograph Collection contains 301 black and white and 28 colour photographs of the Rorke Family of Carbonear, Newfoundland, as well as the Forward and Bemister families from that area who are linked to it by marriage. Although spanning from the 1840s-1970s, most photos are from 1900-45, showing family events, homes and Newfoundland and Labrador locations. There is also an album of photos taken while James Rorke attended the Leys School in Cambridge, England.
