1946 Mum at Daphne's grave soon after the funeral

1954 Daphne's grave

 

Mum had two pregnancies before mine, both were girls, both were called “Daphne”.  The first was stillborn and was buried in what Mum called a “pauper’s grave”.  The second lived a short while and I have a death certificate for her.  It is the second Daphne whose grave is shown here.  We frequently visited the grave when I was very young.

 

1950 (guess) my father with unknown person

 

It was fashionable in the fifties for photographers to stand at street corners of places popular with holiday makers and tourists and photograph passers-by.  They would then give them a card telling them how to get pictures.  Hazel has similar pictures of her family.
