My Grandmother's two sisters, Eva Lily Salmon and Winifred Pearl Salmon...

Winifred Pearl was born in 1899, Rising Hill Street, Holborn and Eva Lily born in 1902 Frederick Street, St Pancras.  Winifred didn't marry, her employers (two spinsters, daughters of the vicar Winifred used to work for) wouldn't allow her to get married, so Winifred remained single.

 

 

Eva and her husband George Ernest Reeve who was born in 1902 in Beccles, they married in Camden Town.
