Frederick Giraud family group photographed around 1895 - hover for names. Frederick Giraud is the son of Jean Baptiste Giraud, the first first family in the Levant. All his surviving children (one died aged 2) are shown here. All the Giraud traders (carpets, fruit etc) descend from Frederick. His wife Mary was part of the great Whittall family, and both families have intermarried over several generations.

Goad, though may be related to him - hover over faces to reveal names.
