Here is the first of the information on the Meadows' family from cousin Joy.
Her grandfather, Stanley Arthur Meadows, who was born in 1889, married Ethel (will get last name) in 1914. Here is their wedding photograph. It appears very much to be taken in the same spot as his older sister Lily's wedding picture. Joy thinks it is either the sloping garden behind the family house at 239 Cavendish St. in Ipswich, or possibly the parkland that used to be opposite before houses were built on it.
Stanley and Ethel only had one child ten years later, a son, who is Joy's father. Ethel died in childbirth, and this son was brought up by some of his aunts and uncles who all lived together in Cavendish St. From the sounds of things, they were a rather lovely family, and Mum and A.R. remember them all very well too.
Here's Lily's and Lionel's wedding picture again (below). My next project is to match the faces that are in both of the photographs and see what I (we) can work out.
