Lottie Penney
and Herbert Penney

All these names are derived from a newspaper cutting saved by my grandmother, Valencia Ann Harper Olsen (née Penney) of the wedding of Herbert Gillies Penney and Lottie Affleck on Saturday 11 December 1909. Joyce and William Affleck have been most helpful, confirming what I had thought and supplying much new information. If you are a Penney (from South Shields) or an Affleck (from Gateshead) and are able to shed more light, I would be most grateful.

n012 Charlotte Sarah Penney (née Affleck), (Lottie) [1,2R;1,3R;1,4R] was daughter of Robert and Georgiana Affleck. She was born on 18^th. April 1884 (2nd. quarter folio 10a page 950) in Gateshead, and dying 1966/67 (1967 quarter 1, Croydon, folio 5a page 736). In 1891 she was living at Bloomfield, Gateshead.

In 1891 and in 1901 he was living at 4 Tyne View Terrace. He was an insurance clerk. On 4^th.

In 1911 he was living at Bloomfield, Gateshead.
During the First World War, he was first a 'Captain in Tyneside Irish' and then a Captain in Northumberland Fusiliers. He was wounded in France and invalided home. He was awarded the British War Medal and the Victory Medal. After the war they moved to Bridge of Weir in Glasgow, working as an Insurance Broker from 144 Vincent Street Glasgow. In 1926 he suffered appendicitus and was described as 'very stout'. By 1936 he was unemployed, but tried a grocery business for 6 weeks which didn't work out.
He 'retired to Bexhill', (with Reginald) 'to be able to offer seaside holidays to all the family'; 'a large 3-storied Victorian house where he decided to grow mushrooms commercially, in the basement. Unfortunately, neither he, nor, apparently, anyone else, had realised how much heat is generated by mushroom compost. The fire brigade was called in to damp down the enterprise before the house went up in flames and the basement remained damp and inhabitable thereafter!!'
1966 found him living at St. Saviour's vicarage with Lottie and son Robert Affleck. He died on 21^st. August 1966 (1966 quarter 3, croydon, folio 5a page 682) aged 81, at 10 Purley Way, Purley, of bronchopneumonia and chronic congestion and heart failure. This was certified by T.A.S.
