I have chanced across this photo and can inform you that it is a picture of my grandmother, Mrs Irma Vroome together with her son – Daniel – and two daughters – Régine and Alice. They came over from Ostend in 1914 and lived in a house on the main Street in Wolverton opposite the works. The house later became a Barclays Bank. They attended the local school.
