Louisa Mary and William Grant

 

I made a layout using a photo I had of Louisa Mary and William Grant. I’m not sure that this is in fact a wedding photo, but she looks very young in this photo and so if it wasn’t a wedding photo it must be not much afterward.

 

I used my Lives Remembered Kit with a few pieces from Yesteryears Promise to complete this layout

The journalling reads :

Louisa Mary ABBOTT was just 16 when she married 22 year old William GRANT, a Scotsman from Fenwick, Ayrshire on July 21st 1876 at St Pauls Church Oamaru. They would go on to have 7 children, and she would be left a widow in 1906 when William would be killed in a tragic accident .
