Historical information

Evelyn May (Nessie) Baker and lived in Silver Street Eltham. She married Harry Norman Butherway at St. Margaret's Church on 20 April 1935. Harry Butherway started the sporting brand Swallow that specialised in cricket balls, footballs and basketballs. This picture would have been taken in the 1920s. Nessie would be on the right of the picture. Next to her would be her mother Harriet May (nee Gilsenan) who was called May (as her mother was also Harriet). The boy on the left is likely to be Ronald Baker her younger brother. Nessie had no sister so the girl second from left is likely to be Heather Cones as she had the photo.
