The Levene Family

I promised at my last post to follow up with the rest of my Dad's famiy so here they are! The first photo is of Sheila my Dad's youngest sister she was born in 1926 and I think this was probably taken at the age of 12 or 13. This photo was discovered in an old wallet of Dad's after he died, it was a wallet he carried with him during the 2nd World War.

This is Dad's brother Philip and was taken when he married Ada Sugarman in London in 1931, they had one child named David, unfortuantly Phil died during the war.

This photo is Dad's oldest brother's, (Nathan) wedding to Rebecca Brooks they were also married in 1931. Next to Nathan are my grandparents, Nathans parents, Alexander (Standing) and Leah, next to Leah is Sheila, dads youngest sister and behind her is a cousin of my Dad's Faye. Next to the bride are her parents, Morris and Leah and the other bridesmaid I am guessing is perhaps a sister to Rebecca.

This is Sheila on her wedding day in 1951 to Eric Van Emden. All thats missing as far as Dads siblings go is his brother Woolfie and I will try to post one of him next time around.

Joseph Levene and some of his siblings

This first picture is of my dad, Joseph (left) and his youngest brother Ralph, Joseph was born in 1912 and Ralph was born in 1915, so I'll let you guess how old he was and when the photo was taken. This photo is of my dad, left and his oldest sister Gertie with younger brother Ralph, Gertie was born in 1909, how old do you think they were? Any comment is welcome and would be very helpful in helping me sort and date the photos. The first photo I have the original of the 2nd I only have a bad photocopy of. Joseph had three other brothers, Nathan, Woolfie and Philip and one younger sister, Sheila, I'll post their photos at a later date.
