Chatham Fallen Fanny Inmates Introduction Leaving Married Matches Medway Offered Pension Possibility Workhouse Will I Am
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from February 1911, we witness the heartwarming moment of the marriage ceremony between two elderly individuals, Mr. Hennen and Mrs. Wadhams. The scene takes place in the Medway Workhouse, located in Chatham, England. Both Mr. Hennen and Mrs. Wadhams, who appear to be in their eighties, are dressed in their Sunday best, with Mr. Hennen wearing a neat suit and hat, and Mrs. Wadhams in a modest dress and shawl. The image captures a sense of nostalgia and the enduring power of love, as these two inmates of the workhouse, who had likely spent many years apart, are now united in marriage. The scene is filled with a quiet dignity and intimacy, as the couple exchanges vows in the presence of a small group of onlookers. The possibility of their union may have seemed unlikely, given their advanced age and circumstances, but the couple's determination and the kindness of those around them made it a reality. Mr. Hennen, who had been receiving a pension, had proposed to Mrs. Wadhams, and the introduction was made by the workhouse authorities. The photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of two elderly individuals during a time when age and poverty often meant a life of isolation and hardship. Yet, despite their circumstances, Mr. Hennen and Mrs. Wadhams found love and companionship in each other, leaving a lasting legacy of hope and inspiration. As we look at this photograph, we are reminded of the resilience of the human spirit and the power of love to bring joy and happiness, even in the most unexpected of places. The image is a poignant reminder that love knows no age or circumstance and that it is never too late to find happiness.
