grace

Grace, maybe 1941-1943

1943 . Grace B Whincop married Thomas R Hill Grimsby Jun 1943. Wedding was at St Mary's . Frances Hill 1926 was one of her bridesmaids - I wonder if the other one was her sister Amy Lois Whincop 1920?

Arthur Hill (Brother), Frances Hill (sister & Rouse to be), Thomas, Grace, unknown lady then Kenneth Brown (father's best friend).

As Frances Hill 1926 was one of her bridesmaids - but the other one- unknown lady - was definitely not her sister Amy Lois Whincop 1920

 

They had children Anthony G R 1944 , Simon N R 1954 and Nicholas P R 1956

Family lore says that she did not speak to her mother, who died 1960, for 20 years_ this would mean that Anthony never knew his maternal gandmother, Gertrude- true? Maybe not quite - photo?
