MARRIAGE OF ARTHUR STONE

MARRIAGE OF ARTHUR STONE & AMELIA WATCH

(Photo supplied by Dave Moseley)

The photograph shows the marriage of Arthur Stone of Stanley (Aged 5 1901 census) to Amelia Kathleen Bessie Watch (born Alverstoke, Hants), 26 December 1919. It was taken in Weymouth.
Apparently, Arthur was on leave from the army having been injured and spotted Amelia in the local Co-op, possibly Gosport, that was the beginning of the relationship.
It appears that the rest of those pictured are of the Watch family.

It is believed that Arthur & Amelia went on to run the Alverstoke guest house in Weymouth, still in existence.
