Not all of these photos were taken by Grandpa William (WGRA). The text below some of them makes that point clear. The wedding photo ones were not, of course, but the splendid shot of Christ Church college (Tom tower) and of ‘Oxford’s dreaming spires’, the Thames at Iffley, and the level crossing in Holland, certainly were (by scanning from Grandpa’s own hand-printed, crinkly, original prints).
Phil’s History:
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.
