What a lucky Man!!

Wivenhoe Coronation parade in Station road, 1937.
Left-right Mrs.Hammond, Mrs. Wray, Mrs. Bones, Mrs.Forsgate, Mrs. Parker. Driver Mr. Hammond.

 Yes, that definitely is "Mrs Wray". Or "Peg" she was better known. Born on 2 Aug 1898, she was the daughter of Edward (Ted) William Steward and Alberta Cecily Snood. Later in life she lived with her husband in Scarletts Road, Colchester (which is when I knew her!)

Thanks to Chris Goddard for this information. John Stewart.


Sorry - Mrs. Wray's name was Gertie. Her elder daughter was Peggy or Peg, her younger daughter was Eileen, now living with her husband Doug at West Mersea. Before moving to Colchester they lived in Clifton Terrace, Wivenhoe. Mr. Wray, Billy, worked in Colchester for the old LNER. Mrs. Wray and my mother Jessie Forsgate were cousins.
Thanks to Tony Forsgate for additional imformation.
