These photos are from the collection of Leeds postman Tom Wheldon (also spelt Weldon) who served in 1/8 Battalion West Yorkshire Regiment during WW1 and was a veteran of the Boer War. The handwriting on the face of some of the photos is Tom's.
These photos are of the Howell family, showing them at different stages of their lives.
The photo below is of Alice Vickerman before her marriage to Fred Howell. It was probably taken around 1900. Fred and Alice married in Spring 1905 and had two children, Kathleen in 1908 and Fred Harvey on 13 February 1910. Alice originally came from South Shields and Fred from Leeds.
This is Kathleen Howell at six months old on 9 September 1908.
And the family - Alice, Kathleen, Harvey and Fred - are shown here in 1910. Fred was a cashier in a coal business and they lived in Mayville Street, Leeds in 1911.
This photo of Kathleen and Harvey probably dates from late 1911.
Fred served as a sergeant in the Army Service Corps during WW1. These photos are undated but were probably taken around 1915.
Fred was to survive the war and the family are pictured here in the late 1920s.
