Ivy Myrtle Adele Salmon 1893-1969

I am hoping one day to see a photo of 'Little Ivy' who was my Grandmother's half-sister.  Ivy's parents were Albert Salmon and Adele Coe - who married in Clacton in 1892.  Adele next appears marrying again in 1897.  Little Ivy was brought up by her grandparents in Wivenhoe (George and Charlotte Salmon) and then married Charles Zimmer in 1914 in Colchester.  I have contacted several of Little Ivy's descendants, fruitlessly unfortunately, as we would so like to see a photo of Little Ivy.  When my friend Mandy found the marriage for me and we subsequently ordered the certificate, this was the icing on the cake as we've been looking for her for so long...... and the cherry on the top would be to see if Little Ivy looked like my Nan.  So, if anybody out there has a photo of Ivy Myrtle Adele Salmon born 1893 in Wivenhoe, then I would be so glad to see it, as would my Mother.  Thank you for reading this.

Work-in-progress...
