The following 4 photos are from a grandson of George Nelson Anger. Thanks!
Anger family reunion, maybe about 1900. Online discussions have identified a few, maybe. Front row, man holding hat may be Peter Anger (1827-1902). (Also looks like Leonard Anger – see photo way above.) Second man from him to the right may be Peter’s son George Edgar Anger with wife Elma (Hayward) beside him. Their son Austin is sitting between them, with a dog in front of him, and daughter Estella in front of her mother. The woman at the right end of the front row may be Mary Ann Alair, Peter’s second wife. In back row, 6th from right, looks like George Nelson Anger (b 1889).
Anger family, presumably same day as above. Back row, third from right is George Nelson Anger. Beside him, at right, is his brother Lorne.
Counter-clockwise from bottom right: George Young Anger, wife Fanny (Bunning) and children Mary Jane, G. Nelson and Lorne.

9 Dec 2022Hi Dorothy! I am so pleased to see pictures of my grandmother, Hazel Sherk, and my grandfather Bertie Ray. He died before I was born, and I only remember Grandma Sherk with silver hair, so it is lovely to see her as a young woman! I wonder if you would share the first five photos with me? I have a multitude of cousins that would love to see them as well. I am Kathryn’s youngest child.
Dorothy
9 Dec 2022Hi Brenda, done.
Richard Sherk
19 Sep 2022My name is Richard Sherk. Lydia Alice Anger was my great grandmother. Her parents were David Anger and Nancy Fretz Anger. She was married to my great grandfather William Henry Sherk. They had three sons, Frank, Jesse and Bertie Ray. I have a picture of her when she was very young, when she was older at a Sherk reunion in 1918 and several of her two sons and later with grandchildren and families. I would be glad to share any information or pictures with friends or relatives regarding her and my ancestors. Thank you
Dorothy
19 Sep 2022Hi Richard, if you’d allow me to post your pictures here, please let me know. Thanks for writing.
Richard William Sherk
21 Sep 2022yes absolutely…I was hoping someone has a picture of my great grandfather William Henry Sherk. I have exhausted most of my Sherk connections but theres always hope…I am unsure of how to send them…any ideas
Dorothy
21 Sep 2022Thanks. I’ve emailed you.

Jena
11 Jul 2022Good Morning,
My name is Jena. I am linked to the family tree as my grandma is Addie Grace Anger. She is the daughter of Martin Anger (b 1890) and May MacDonald. My Greatx5 grandfather is George Fredrick Anger (b1721).
I have many photos given to me after she passed. They date back to 1918 in Bertie township of family members that I cannot identify. I would love to upload them to add to this archive to share.
Please contact me and let me know if this can be done.
Thank you so much.
Dorothy
11 Jul 2022Thanks, Jena, I’ll email you.

18 Dec 2020Hi again Dorothy. While digging for information on Arthur Wesley Anger I came across this photo of Francis Harold Emmanuel Anger over on the Canadian Veterans site and thought I’d share it in case you do not have copy.

Dorothy
18 Dec 2020Hi Arnold, I hadn’t seen that picture before, so thank you. That’s a great website, isn’t it. I found Arthur Wesley Anger and some siblings on My Heritage. I also found him on the sites you mention. I hadn’t come across those before – they are very impressive. Haven’t found anything more about him. I’m updating this tree so will have these additions in the new version, online within a week or two I hope. And thanks for capturing that aspect of the picture of my grandparents! 🙂

4 Jan 2021My pleasure Dorothy! Always a treat to put faces to names through photographs : )
Jon Atkins
1 Jul 2020Hi Dorothy – My grandaughter is an Anger family member on her mother’s maternal side through Henry Frederick (1797-1866) and his son James Richard (1846-1911); that branch came from Bertie Twp., Welland County to Essex County. She also has cousins in 2 family trees through the marriage of Helen Anger m. John William Alfred Atkins (Helen being the 2g granddaughter of Henry Frederick through another son Lorenzo).
I was also intrigued by the many references to St. Thomas where I was born and Belmont near Mossley where my dad was born. The pictures of your grandparents at Union means they probably knew my Hepburn aunt and uncle who lived on the next road over. I of course remember Pinafore Park.
Thanks for expanding my grandchildren’s family tree.
Dorothy
1 Jul 2020Hi Jon, thanks for writing. I don’t know about the Helen Anger you mention and a quick google didn’t find anything. If you could tell me which son of Lorenzo’s, I could maybe add a new branch. I never knew my grandparents’ farm in Union but the name Hepburn is familiar from somewhere. Our ancestor came from Bertie to Norfolk then Elgin County, so, yes, there’s relatives in all the places you mention!
Ian Anger
31 Oct 2020Hi, my name is Ian Cameron anger. Born in Woidstock ont. My dad Kenneth Warren Anger born 1936 in Tillsonburg ont. Son of Charles Fredrick Anger born in Elmer Ontario,one of three brothers, married Marie Kennedy,I believe from Tillsonburg. Any relations.
Ronald Gooden
5 Apr 2020My uncle William Anger a blacksmith and well known farrier from Allegany N.Y. and his sisters Gladys, Lillian and Sadie all from Allegany, Olean and Niagara Falls N.Y. Must not be part of your group.
They all have been deceased prior to the mid 1980’s
My Uncle Bills Blacksmith shop was behind our house in Allegany and I watched him lift the back end of a large unruly horse off the ground and pin him to the wall in order to shoe him.
My uncle Bill was a very small but powerful man.

Dorothy
5 Apr 2020Hi Ronald and thanks for writing. I can’t find a connection with your Angers yet, but there might well be one. Your Uncle Bill sounds like an impressive man. I have horses so have watched farriers at work. It’s a hard enough job with well-behaved horses. What your uncle did must have been truly something to see! I will think of him while I’m picking their hooves. 🙂
Laura McCallum
3 Nov 2019I have a photo of Leonard and Catherine Anger that are my grandma’s grandparents. I found information about them in your awesome collection of family history. I can email you the photo and Leonard appears to be in the one family photo you have that is very old.
Dorothy
3 Nov 2019Hi Laura, I’d love to see it. Thank you.
Lynda Sykes
29 Oct 2016Hi Dorothy, I was just checking out your photos. My! Do you ever have some good ones here. I recognized myself (from the back) in the picture of the family picnic in 1958 because I recognized the dress. That was my favourite dress when I was a little girl. I will send you a picture via e-mail of my family, taken on that day, I believe, where I am wearing that dress, but this time, I’m facing the camera.
Dorothy
29 Oct 2016Hi Lynda, I thought that was you in the photo but wasn’t sure. I got the photo you emailed – thanks. Yes, there were pictures taken that day of each family group. They are great. I especially love the soft colours – due to the film I think, plus time.
