Patricia Egan


Three photographs of the female generations in the Egan family. Top left: my daughter Jayne Margaret Vickers (born 23 August 1969), and I. She was newly born here so I would have been 18. It was difficult having a child when you are no more than a girl yourself. I enjoyed being a mother and always did my best and worked hard, together with Jaynes father, to improve our lives. Middle: Holly Jayne Bennett (born 9 October 1989) with my daughter Jayne, her mom. Holly hasn’t had the easiest of lives, her dad died tragically at 32 when she was about 13. I think her life only really began when she had a family of her own. She is now studying to become a nurse. Right: Holly and Jayne taken holiday.

Karen Tongue


My paternal Grandfather, William Arthur Wheeler, his wife Lillian Cosier and their first born Lillian May Wheeler. Appears to be a studio portrait but there are no names on the print itself. Lillian bore 11 children between 1911 and 1931, sadly she then died in 1933 from breast cancer and secondary liver cancer. My father believed that his mother was 'disowned' as she had married out of their Jewish faith. However, I can find no record of a Jewish connection and believe it was more likely she was 'disowned' for being pregnant before she was married. From Census records I note she was living with her brother shortly before she got married.

This was taken the day of my sister’s first communion. There are not many generations in this one shot but it means a lot to me as four of these people are no longer with us. Some left long ago and some much more recently. I miss them all every day.


My sister and I are both in pink, I'm the little one at the front and Monica is behind me. The adults are: My uncle Angel (deceased), his daughter Merche, my Father Jose Antonio (deceased), his sister Angela (deceased), my Mother Itziar, my cousin Inma (deceased) and her then boyfriend Ladislao.
