• Photos » Slide Show		Olive Thomas, 1943 Olive Thomas, 1943, apparently taken for a passport, signed by her doctor
  		Family group: Sarah Bennison's 4 children, c1921 The children are Olive from Sarah's first marriage to Frederick Thomas, and Roger, Mabel and Jack from her second marriage to Roger Foster.
  		Family group: All Sarah Bennison's children on a day out, c1927 Sarah Bennison was dead by the time this was taken, but all of her children are on the coach. We have identified only 6 people, the girl sitting right at the back, and the 5 people standing towards the front. They are her daughter Olive Thomas, with husband (to be?) Albert Hulme; and her 2nd husband Roger Foster with 3 children he and Sarah had.
  		A wedding group: Roger Foster and Elsie Ball, 3 May 1941 Roger was the first cousin of Dave's Dad John Foster, and had been best man at John's own wedding.
  		At least one living or private individual is linked to this item - Details withheld.
  		A wedding group: Les Birch and Vera Bennison, 1939 To judge from the camera angle, the photographer was somewhat the worse for wear!

• Notes

  When Olive's mother Sarah died in 1925, Olive was only 18. However, Walker's brewery had such confidence in her ability to run the pub her mother had managed, that they allowed her to do so. This she did, assisted by her step-father Roger Foster, until her own marriage 2 years later.
