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

Thank you, that's lovely. So much work. :D

Lilla Bean is a relative of mine. I was interested to read the post regarding her marriage to Linton Hall Swann and the interest in her wedding dress and am keen to know more regarding displaying it in a museum.
