• Photos » Slide Show		Roger Foster 1927 - probably It is believed that this is Roger, taken at the wedding of Olive Thomas, his step-daughter
  		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: Albert Hulme and Olive Thomas, 4 Aug 1927
