Jesse & Alice Mary HOOKINS (Tree A)

I am extremely grateful to Audrey who recently sent me some more photographs of her ancestors.
On the left is another picture of Jesse HOOKINS who left North Somerset for South Wales and has been featured before in this blog. Jesse married Alice Mary LANE who had been born in Fiddington in Somerset some 10 years after Jesse's birth. They are believed to have married in Bridgwater in 1900. Both are
buried in the churchyard at Llantwit Major a short distance from
their long-time home at Dimlands Lodge.

Also pictured is Henry James HOOKINS one of their sons and also the father of Audrey. He married Violet Mary JEREMIAH ON 11th April 1925 in Neath. Henry was a Railway Engine Driver - every boy's dream! - and died in 1956 at the age of just 54. His wife Violet outlived him by 41 years and died at the age of 92. Henry is pictured her outside the actual Dimlands House in the grounds of which Jesse and his family lived at Dimlands Lodge (previously featured).
