Where They Lived

I don't know where Henry James (known to his family as Jim) and his first wife, Georgina, met and married, nor where they lived, although I believe, from family legend, that they were living at Vegal Crescent, Englefield Green at the time of Georgina's death. Henry James advertised for a housekeeper to look after his three young children, and along came Victoria May Hudson and her daughter Thelma. They married in 1930 and had four further daughters at Vegal Crescent, before moving to 41 Crown Road Virginia Water when Henry took up a post as groundsman on the Wentworth Golf Course.

Photographs of the family are not plentiful in my collection. This is Henry James at the wedding of Thelma in 1951, only six months before he died. The four daughters of Henry and Victoria are pictured at Thelmas wedding in 1851. Cecil was in the RAF; this is a picture of him in uniform.
