Picture Notes
A Birkenhead couple, Mr. Thomas Gladstone Turner and his wife, Ellen Jane of Parkstone Road, Prenton, celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary last week. The couple met at “Hamilton Square Congregational Church” Sunday School and after 10-years engagement they were married in St. Mary’s Church Birkenhead on September 13 1915. Thomas worked for Cammell Lairds Shipbuilders as an engineer for 47 years. His wife worked as a dressmaker in Devours, Claughton Road, Birkenhead. They are members of the Grange Baptist Church, Whetstone Lane, where Thomas has been a lay preacher for more than 35 years. To celebrate their anniversary, Ellen and Thomas held a dinner party at the church last Saturday. After 60 years of marriage their recipe is love and compatibility.
