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.
Gwen and Vic her fox-terrier, whom she loved. And who lived at least a little while into Gwen’s married life at Oxford. But when he died and was replaced, the new dog was a failure and was given away quite soon. I may have a date for this portrait, which was obviously done at a studio, and in the classic style of the 1920s/30s.
