	Henry Hunter, husband of Barbara Morrison ("Mam of the Queans"), outside the Queans before it was raised. In the doorway is his daughter Joan. This photograph must have been taken around the turn of the century.
	"The Queans" in Tumblin, soon after it was "raised" to two stories, and before the trees grew. Home of Henry and Barbara Hunter when they moved from Twatt, and their large family. Subsequently owned by their son Henry, and in turn his daughter Ella (Garrick).
