The photo is of the wedding day c. 1900 of his parents Joseph & Isabel Mary Calderwood.


Educated at King Edward’s School Birmingham, he wished to become a dentist but was persuaded to become a metallurgist instead.

The photo is of Mr & Mrs Frank Broomhall with (probably) Joseph, Peter & Kate. We think the other “mystery” son David is absent.
