Anne Charlotte (Forward) Boone and Evelyn (Boone) Wright in a garden during the summer. Anne Charlotte (Forward) Boone (1849-?), oldest daughter of Captain Mark William Forward and Mary (Bemister) Forward, was born on 7 December 1849. Her siblings included Ernest Edward Forward, George William Bemister Forward, John Bemister ''Jack'' Forward and Georgina Eliza ''George'' (Forward) Samways. She married William Boone of Port de Grave on 27 December 1870, and had three children: Evelyn, John and Herbert. Her daughter Evelyn (Boone) Wright (?-1973) married Robert Wright Jr. (ca. 1878-1918) at St. John's on 15 November 1907. They had a daughter, Helen. Evelyn moved to Halifax with her daughter after her Robert was lost on the ''Florizel'' in 1918. She died in Halifax in 1973. 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.
