2nd photo post in 6 years!

No apologies, as bloggers go through seasons and this has been a long one as I concentrated on another blog, but I still love these photos and plan to start posting here again. I don't know how often it will be as I have to get photos organized in order to do it!

I will start by linking through some photos from other sites that I have found.

FIFTIETH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY  - MR AND MRS EDWARD EAGER OF NEWHAVEN
      A happy event was observed at 2 Denton Terrace, Newhaven on Friday, when Mr and Mrs Edward Eager celebrated their golden wedding.
      Mr and Mrs Eager were married at Bishopstone Parish Church on 12 July 1879, by the Rev Charles H Dearsly, the then vicar. Mr Eager who is now 72 years of age, was the son of the late Mr Jerry Eager of Newhaven, a hawker of paregoric tablets and Barcelona nuts and a well-known character of his day.  Mrs Eager who celebrated her 69th birthday on her golden wedding day, is a daughter of the late Mr Alfred Nightingale, of Tide Mills, Bishopstone, who was a miller for Messrs Catt when the Tide Mills were in full work.
      Mr and Mrs Eager are very robust and active for their age.  As a young man Mr Eager became a member of the Newhaven Lifeboat crew and for over seven years he was coxwain.  He is still working, being at present the assistant to the Trinity House Pilots of the port.  He also, occasionally does stevedoring at the North Quay.  Mrs Eager still carries out her household duties, including washing for ten persons.  They have had a family of 18 children, nine sons and nine daughters. 15 of the children are still living and all but 4 still reside in Newhaven.  In addition, they have brought up 2 adopted children, and they have 25 grandchildren.  With such a large family of children and grandchildren, the family gathering at their residence on Friday was naturally a large and happy one.  They were the recipients of many congratulations, and among the presents they received was a beautiful bouquet of various hued sweet peas to Mrs Eager from her friend Mrs N Browing.
