Photos?? Deb and Libby Sara are particularly keen to obtain more information on Jane Elliott Hougham Royes, their maternal grandmother. She died when their mother, Desme Harvey Sara, was a baby, and Desme has not even seen a photo of her and had no contact at all with the Royes clan. Their dearest wish is to track down a photo of Jane before Mum dies. One of Jane's brothers died as recently as 1983 and they are hopeful that there may be some photographs.
