Lilla Elizabeth Bean marriage
« on: Friday 19 January 24 15:54 GMT (UK) »
Hello, I wonder if anyone could help me, I volunteer at a museum and we have Lilla Bean's wedding dress which we would like to display this year.  I know she married Linton Hall Swann on 25.11.1903 at St Peter, Glenelg, Adelaide, South Australia. 

I know she travelled to England arriving 22.5.1915 with children Marian, Francis and Salmon.

It would be lovely to display a photo of her alongside the dress - does anyone find a wedding report in a local newspaper? I have had no luck so far.

many thanks.

Per tree on Ancestry

She died in Cambridge in 1959 - born 1876.  She is on the 1939 register

Daughter Marian died 1920

You could try contacting the tree owner to see if any photos exist

There is a drawing of Linton Hall SWANN in 1899 on trove. However, I can't see any pictures of Lilla Elizabeth BEAN.

You're welcome. I'd love to see a photo of the wedding dress if at all possible when it's on display.  :D

this is the dress before being pressed and put onto mannequin. It has a 20inch waist. Display is in a couple of weeks
