The family at Gordonbush were/are TYSER. From the date of the calendar the people shown are probably Walter Parkyns Tyser and Jessie Woodriff Berkeley nee Quill with their 4 children. Comment left on 21 February 2019 at 12:57 by Christina Perera Clarification appreciated Administrator
Yes and the youngest is Richard James Tyser, born 1930 who inherited Gordonbush and later passed it (died 2004) on to his second wife Angela Mary Burley.
The oldest brother Lieutenant John Walter George Tyser died in WW2, 25 dec 1943 when he was 19 in Albania/buried in Athens Greece according to a family tree.

It might be a good idea to correct the title for this entry to the correct family name of TYSER.
They are not the 'Trysers'. Perhaps the writing on the Christmas card is hard to decipher.
