My Mother And Grandparents

[poliphilo]

My nephew, Tom Fairweather, asked me a few days back if I had any pictures of my grandfather Allen. I said I hadn't, but, having gone right through the big box of photos, I find I have this.



That's my mother on the far left and my grandmother in the middle. I'm guessing this was taken in the mid to late 30s- before the outbreak of War, at any rate- and that the photographer was my uncle Dick.

I don't know exactly. My great aunt Enid may have told me. She drew me up a copy of the Allen family tree. I've still got it somewhere. There's a story that William lent the Duke of Kent the money that allowed him to get his family back home in time for the future Queen Victoria to be born on English soil.
