George Jeffries and Susan Cooper |
|
This is a studio portrait, but there is no information on the back of the photo. Although George is wearing a rather formal suit and a wing collar, he looks very relaxed and confident. By the way his coat is hanging, it looks as though he has just taken his hand out of his trouser pocket; perhaps that would have been too informal! Susan is looking rather less relaxed. I would guess that the photo was taken about 1900. |
|
Probably 85 Queen's Road, Upper Norwood about 1915/1916. They were living in this house in the 1911 census and at George's death in May 1916. George is looking rather sad and wistful, so perhaps he knew that he did not have long to live. Susan looks careworn, but having had ten children, this is perhaps not surprising. George is sitting on a wooden box and there seems to be a tin bath propped up behind them. There is no information on the
back of the photo. The house has now gone. |

Jonathan George Jeffries and Jessie Rose Treacher |

Drawn for Mum by boyfriend, Stanley Chapman. He has put his and her initials on either edge of the bottom of the dress. |

Mum and Dad on the steps of St Mary's Church, Woolwich after their wedding on 6 Sep 1941. Dad did not want to have the horseshore on his arm and couldn't wait to take it off. The church is still in use today. The reception, which was arranged by Gran, was held in the upstairs hall of the old Cooperative building in Herbert Road, Plumstead. There is still a supermarket on the site, although it is a more recent building and not a Coop. |

With son, Tony, place unknown in 1943. May be a studio photo. |
|
Mum says that this photo was taken at an unknown place sometime before his marriage. It may not have been long before, because he seems to be wearing the suit he later wore for his wedding. |

Early 70's in the back garden of 56, Raby Drive, Raby Mere, Wirral. |

Date stamp on back is 17 Sep 1897, but he looks older than 18 |

This is a photo of the wedding of Gran's granddaughter, Gill, to Pete Mullings. Gran is three to the bride's left in the same row and wearing a dark hat. On her right is Gill's mother, Gladys, and behind her is Gill's father, John Collie. Next to Gladys is Mum. Dad is on the far right, with glasses, and next to him in the white hat is Gill's aunt, Margaret. Tony is at the back next to John. |

This photo and the next were taken on the same day about 1919 in Gran and Granddad's garden at 39 Forest Road, Forest Gate. Their daughter, Gladys, had just returned from Sunday School |

Frederick Treacher and Rose Ellen Abbott |
|
This photo is unusual in having black edging, and together with the dark dress, hat and gloves, it may mean that it was taken shortly after the death of one of her parents. This would make it about 1901/2 or 1904. Gran is sitting and the other woman is her friend, Maud Killick. |
|
Perhaps about 1905 - it looks like the same hat as in the previous photo |
|
With son, Arthur. Taken on the seafront, probably at Folkestone, Kent sometime in the 1930s. Gran seems to be wearing the same coat as in the next two photos. |

Taken in 1912 in Woolwich at the wedding of Gran's brother Albert Edward "Bertie" Abbott to Maude E Flower. Gran is on the left in the front row, and she was carrying her first child, Ivy, at the time. The three women at the back are friends or relatives of Maude. The two on the right may be twins as they are wearing almost identical outfits. |
|
This photo was taken in 1949 in the back yard at 108 Lakedale Road, with her grandchildren, Tony and me. |
|
This studio portrait of Frederick and Rose Ellen with their first child, Ivy, was taken in 1913, probably in Woolwich. |
