Bill Warden's vehicles

That looks like Chislehurst Common in the background. I think the picture was taken in Morley Road. I would imagine that one of the ladies is Bill's wife Connie. The lady in the sidecar looks a bit like the one in the sea in the "Bill and Connie Warden?" post.

You can't see the driver very clearly, but I'm sure it must be Bill Warden. I think the car is by the garages at the south east of Crown Lane. I remember Bill buying a car in the early 1960s and that is where he kept it.

Update - 24 May 2009. Dating the pictures.

According to a table downloaded from http://homepage.ntlworld.com/johnstonrh/a30a35/regnos/index.htm#FILEDOWN

The registration prefix KK shown on the motorcycle was used in Kent between June 1922 and April 1924. JJ on the car was used in London between November 1932 and March 1933.

On the back of the motorcycle picture is written "Licence No 422X164". This corresponds to the one-page document issued by Kent County Council. An example is pictured in the entry "Bill Warden's driving licences". The earliest I have was issued in May 1924 and the latest expired in May 1931. There is then a hiatus of seven years until May 1938, when the first booklet style licence appears.

Both the vehicles appear to be in very good condition, so I imagine they were new (or at least newly acquired) when the pictures were taken.

Bill & Connie Warden?

This photograph appears to be a copy print. What looks like a burn mark on the top is actually an image in the print.

The photo is from the Crown Lane archive and I think it could be Bill and Connie Warden. I only knew Bill from when he married Ada in 1961 and I don't have any known earlier pictures of him. But comparing this with later pictures of Bill, I think there is a resemblance. Also, the woman appears to be older than the man. Their marriage certificate of 24 August 1914 shows that William Drewitt Warden, 26, a bachelor married Constance Anetta Dickens, 36, a widow. Her father is shown as George Dickens, so I presume she had reverted to her maiden name. (Bill's age on the marriage certificate is not quite right though. His death certificate shows he was born on 4th July 1890. This is consistent with the age of 70 shown on the certificate of his second marriage to Ada Mackie on 13th April 1961. So when he married Connie, he could only have been 24.)

Trench Art (2)

The design reads "To My Dear Sister" and the inscription on the back is "To Connie with love from Gerald." This must be Constance Warden (nee Dickens). She was the first wife of Bill Warden, who in turn became the second husband of Ada Mackie.

Kensington Gardens, Lowestoft

Does anybody recognise these people?

UPDATE. On balance of probability I believe this is William and Constance (nee Dickens) Warden
