William, Jane & John: Another Eden

ANOTHER EDEN

For some time now, I have been pondering how I might create a layout that shares a particularly intriguing story that I have uncovered whilst researching my family history, and I have finally decided to begin by exploring it in a series of ATCs. Each card will give clues to events but I won't be creating them in chronological order as I want to feel free to explore whichever episode interests or inspires me at a given moment. The cards may serve as provisional sketches for a final page or I may decide to let them stand alone as a "book". I don't know how many cards there will be or how long it will take to do them all as I will be making other things alongside them, but when they are all done, I will post them together in chronological order and perhaps provide some background information.
The story took place mainly in England from the mid nineteenth century to the early years of the twentieth. Not all the facts are known, they probably never will be. Feel free to invent your own interpretations and post them here. Remember, this first ATC is not the begining of the story...
