| Permission to show this photgraph comes from Jill Baker, grandaughter of the main subject in the photograph Elizabeth Marson Tivey Dunnicliffe. Elizabeth was born 1876 in Derbyshire to parents George Marson and Catherine Porter. In 1893 she married Leonard Tivey and three boys followed, the youngest named Kenneth sadly died in infancy. She was widowed in 1911 when her husband Leonard passed away aged 37 but brought her two sons up by herself for a few years, they were Arthur Marson Tivey and Clarence Hereward Tivey. In 1914 she remarried to Lewis Dunnicliffe, a quarry labourer, at Long Eaton Registry Office, a man who was 16 years her junior. Together they had another son (George) Lewis Dunnicliffe, named after his father, who tragically was a victim of the first world war. Lewis enlisted with the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry and died 9th October 1917 in Belgium, George Lewis was 6 months old at the time. Despite being widowed once more, Elizabeth brought up Lewis alone and also brought up her three granddaughters featured in the photograph, Molly Tivey (b 1921) Edna Tivey (1922) and Helena (Ena 1924) who tragically lost their mother Helena (nee Clarke) shortly after Ena was born in 1924. Big thankyou to Jill for this photo who is Ena's daughter. |
