Henry John Minter
born 1871, Kensington
(from Caroline Sanderson nee Minter)

Henry John Minter (born Kensington in 1871) in front of his shop at 67 Portobello Road, Notting Hill. Judging from the billboards, especially the one announcing a fire at Portsmouth Dockyard, this must have been taken in late December, probably between 21 and 25, 1913.

Victor Roland Minter (born Kensington on 24 September 1914, son of Henry John Minter, above) in front of the shop at 67 Portobello Road, Notting Hill. With him is his sister Winifred (born Kensington 1917). Taken in 1936 or 1937, judging from the advertisement for 'When Knights Were Bold' starring Jack Buchanan, which was made in 1936.

Taken on the same day as the above picture in front of the shop at 67 Portobello Road, Notting Hill, this one shows Winifred Minter with her husband-to-be Leslie Collins and her mother Annie May Minter, nee Dennis, who married Henry John Minter in 1898.

Believed to have been taken in the late 1930s, the Minter family in the back yard of 67 Portobello Road. Back row, from left to right are:
Leonard Minter, Harold Strange (Ethel Minter's husband), Jack Minter, George Minter, Ethel Minter, Victor Minter, Norah (Harry Minter's wife, Winifred Minter, Dolly (Leonard's wife) and Harry Minter.
