Magna Carta Island
A Memory of Runnymede.
I have several photographs of the house on Magna Carta Island taken during the 1910s and early 1920s. The house was owned by my grandfather during this period, John Francis Mc Gregor (a stockbroker) who was married to my grandmother, Maidie Scott (her 'stage name', she was a music hall performer).
The photos are of my grandmother and my mother with her twin brother playing in the garden. They were born whilst my grandparents owned the house. My grandparents divorced in 1924 and my grandfather sold the house in 1927. My grandmother emigrated to South Africa and I and my siblings were all born here. I have visited the house once in 1996.
