I may have discovered where the money came from to pay for David and Harriet Hazelgrove's expensive looking headstone.

David and Harriet's first child, Mary Ann Hazelgrove, was employed as a servant to Alexander Pearson Fletcher for 40 years until his death in 1907. She was generously provided for in his will.

See this website for more details, I have posted 2 quotes below.

"They employed a 19yr old nursemaid, Mary Ann Hazelgrove, born in Worthing, and she remained with Alexander for over 40 years until his death in 1907. She was generously provided for in his will – see attached report."

“Mr. Alexander Pearson Fletcher of Edenhurst, Belsize Road, Worthing, formerly director of the Northern Assurance Company, who left estate valued at £45,593 bequeathed an annuity of £25 to Miss Ada Adams until she should become an in-patient of the Putney Hospital for Incurables (of which she is now an out-pensioner) and to his servant. Mary Ann Hazelgrove, a life annuity of £100, a further annuity of £50 towards the upkeep of a suitable house in Worthing, and a considerable proportion of his furniture and other belongings, or, in lieu thereof, a further annuity of £50. He also gave one year’s wages to two other servants and £20 to his occasional gardener, George Curd.”

Alexander Pearson Fletcher and his family could be the people in the photos - more investigation needed.

Can you make out what it says on the card in the photo with the cake HP-35? " Every wish for always ... " looks like a couple of names. 

It looks like:

I spotted a couple of newspaper articles on Findmypast which appear to refer to your George Holloway.  I don't currently have a subscription to Findmypast so I can't view the original newspaper reports to see the full article, but I have posted below the slightly garbled OCR text snippet from the free search. 

If you don't have a Findmypast sub, maybe a kind Rootschatter could look up the original images for you.
