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.

The 1st photo, taken around Christmas time in 1959, is of my mother and I in my paternal grandparents home, Munstone cottage, which was next to a little chapel where I was always made to feel most welcome. I still own a little picture, ‘the light of the world’ and a beautiful little illustrated bible which they gave me on prize giving days. I didn’t go very often and they wouldn’t have known that I was I was going to be there on that particular Sunday so I thought that it must be magic that they had a prize for me, with my name on it! My grandmother died when I was 6 and my grandad moved in with my dad’s brother and his family but I still remember some of the hymns that we sang there. I also remember my Granny Gunter teaching me to knit. The 2nd photo of mom and I was taken in 1960, when I was 9 ½ months old, whilst we were on holiday in a chalet in Clacton.
