| Summary: | The caption on the back of the photograph reads, "A picture of one of my mother's nieces, a Miss Hudson, taken many many years ago - in Boston. KR." KR stands for Kathleen Rorke. The "mother" that is being referred to is Tryphena (Butt) Forward. Maud Hudson was the niece of Tryphena (Butt) Forward, wife of Ernest Edward Forward of Carbonear. 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.
