Help Needed

I could really use some help identifying some of these photos please. :-)

I think that is my Nan, Hilda Loder (nee Bursey) on the left, but not sure who is on the right. This was taken in Queen Square, Saint John, NB.

This looks to me like Fanny Cramm (nee Bursey) in the middle, but not sure of the others.

I know this is Stan Bursey on the left and his wife Hazel on the right. That may be Mary Bell (nee Bursey) in the blue coat. Not sure who the children are.

This looks a little like Frank Cramm on the right to me, but I really don't know any of these faces.

All I know about this is that it was taken in Old Perlican and they were building a house.

Looks like it was taken at Fanny's house in Old Perlican, but not sure who it is.

This may be my Nan on the right, Hilda Loder.

Road Trips and Picnics

One of my grandparents' favorite things to do on a weekend was to take a road trip around New Brunswick (Canada). They would often go visiting family out of town, aka "up country", or go to the beach for a picnic.

The back of one of the photos say it is Grampy's first car. This was later in life, so I don't know if it is his first new car, or actual first car. It was a different era and times were very different so it could very well be his first car.

Old Negatives - Who is this?

I found this old negative of a photo of a young woman. I recognize the background from other photos as the homestead where my Grandmother and her family grew up in Old Perlican, Newfoundland. The question is, who is this person? She is wearing a ring, but not on her wedding finger. Given the age, location, time frame (~1926), the ring and the face, I think this is my young Grandmother, Hilda Bursey. As I have never seen a photo of her as a teen or very young woman I can't say for certain. However, it does look like her. Also, her mother passed away when she was around this age. She was given her wedding ring then and wore it up until the day in the hospital when she was passing away with Cancer, when she gave it to me, about a week before her death. I would be uncommon back then for someone of this age in this area to wear a ring otherwise.

She looks very somber. Since she is wearing black and around the right age, it could even be a pic taken after her mother Julia's funeral.

If anyone sees this photo and can recognize it, please let me know.

The only photo that I know is my Grandmother that is even close to this age, is the pic below.

Old Negatives

I just found some old negatives and was super excited to find some photos I had never seen before. These ones are of my grandparents, Hilda Bursey and Bill Loder, taken in Saint John, NB. These are all very early during their relationship. I do not have a lot of this time frame. You will notice the one of my Grandmother alone, she is sitting up on the back of a wooden chair. I think this is because she wanted to get her plant on the window sill in the shot. She loved houseplants and I still have some of hers now. She had a much better greenthumb than I ever did. I love this photo. I rarely seen her smile like this.
