Seated front row on the left is Jennie Myers (nee Herd) who was my Great Aunt (My Grandfather’s sister.) Her parents were Robert & Helen Herd who had moved down from Paisley in 1902. Jennie married Eric Myers in 1932 (?) and very sadly died in 1933 in childbirth. My Grandfather carried her wedding photo in his wallet till his death.

I showed my mother this and she said “Oh. I’ve got that (the 2nd image) as a postcard”.
She dug it out and written on the rear is “QUEEN STREET COOPER”.
That will be Winnie (NOT Wynne) Cooper, my Grandmother!
