It is thanks to Eleanor's sentimentality (a trait I have inherited) that she has kept so much family memorabilia.
My dad told me pre WW2 she was engaged; her fiance went off to war, but sadly on his return, informed her he had found someone else. Eleanor never married, and his name was never disclosed.
There were no baby or studio pictures of Eleanor but here is a photograph of a young Eleanor
Two photographs showing Eleanor as a very attractive young woman.

Eleanor was the archetypal 'good spinster daughter', she remained at home, taking care of her mother in her old age. Initially she worked as a Dinner Lady at Greenside School, and later worked in Newcastle upon Tyne for the big Department Store Fenwicks Ltd in one of their cafe's, she enjoyed the company of the other girls, and even went to Spain on holiday with them.
