My Nan and Granddad

Continuing my trip down memory lane this is my nan and granddad posing in a photographers studio. I don't believe my nan ever had her hair dressed like that normally.
He is Edward Morris 1888-1952
She is Ellen Florence Morris nee Hawthorn 1890-1960
They married October 1911 - not sure if they are married in this shot. I love the way they never smiled when posing for a photo.

I am sorting all the old photos to make a photo book for my niece Ruth.
That hair is amazing!

A lovely capture of them both. It's great to have old photos to look back on. I have a lot of old photos, but a quite a few have no names on the back, which is annoying. I never knew my paternal grandfather, but I'm sure there must be some photos of him. His ship disappeared in the Black Sea when my dad was very young,so I'm curious to know what happened.

He must have married at 21, very young but what a lovely pair they are... her hair is amazing!
