A ‘work in progress’ family history website starting from an Archer family of South Oxford, who were freemen, brewers, haulage contractors, and first ‘Archer & Co’ then ‘Archer Cowley & Co’ furniture removers in the 19th and 20th Centuries, inter alia, to whom are linked by marriage the Penfolds and Wells of Southwark and Surrey, the Reeds of Devon, the Gilders of Oxford and Hinckley, the Morgans of Petworth, Sussex, the Garners of Middleton, Lancs and many others. There are connections via Phil and the present generation (born 1930s/40s) with a patent law firm known as "UD&L" with motor-racing and Scottish antecedents.
Gwenda and her elder brother, Owen. I guessed their ages as 3 and 5, so that puts the date of this studio shot as 1911 and just 3 years before The Great War of 1914 - 1918 began in Belgium. Owen was to die in a motor cycle accident before his adulthood. And the family never really recovered from that blow.
