Description: Snapshots of family and friends associated with Ruby Victoria Jackson, taken by unidentified photographers. Many of the people shown are unidentified, or only identified with Christian names. Many of the images relate to sheep stations won by three Jackson brothers in the soldiers' ballot after the first World War, 1914-1918. They owned Netherwood (originally by a Johnson who married a Jackson), Te Arowhenua and Berridale in the Waihopai Valley; also Leatham and The Branch Station on the Branch River. Other sections of the album relate to holidays, including trips to the West Coast, and to the North Island. Several views of Wellington are night scenes. The funeral ceremonies for Miss Jackson's father, Walter James Jackson, are shown in a number of photographs; and the last sequence shows Chinese friends probably associated with Miss Jackson's links with the Chinese Anglican Mission; and the visit of Dr Toyohiko Kagawa to New Zealand in 1935.
