A newspaper clipping from the late 1890s, relating to Martha Ann Atcherley (1877-1944), is my latest #AtcherleyArchive offering. Published widely in newspapers across the UK, this story is one I have seen in many digitised newspapers, but I couldn't resist adding an example of the real thing to my collection when the opportunity arose. For more about Martha and Dr Williams' Pink Pills, see Quackery and an Atcherley: http://www.atcherley.org.uk/wp/quackery-and-an-atcherley/ #FamilyHistory #Geneadons #Genealogy #HistMed

Another item from the #AtcherleyArchive, this time an award presented by the British #RedCross Society to Mary Elizabeth Hope Atcherley. Hope, as she was usually known, was active with the BRCS during (and in the run up to) both #WW1 (along with her sister Hester) and #WW2.

The smallest item in the #AtcherleyArchive - my collection of documents, photographs and other items relating to the Atcherley family - is this American pin or badge. It dates from the early 1930s, when the British pilot it features - Richard, a.k.a. 'Batchy' Atcherley - took part in the National Air Races and wowed the crowds with his 'crazy flying'.
