Welcome to the Tanguay family
online photo album
Here is the Tanguay family, begun during the war, on August 17th 1942 when Beatrice Cornelia (Molly) Gerard, overcoming her embarrassment at his loud sergeant's voice, married William Eugene Tanguay, veteran of Dunkirk.
In the top centre picture we see them just after their wedding, in the back garden of Aunt Nell's fish and chip shop, in Hamble, Hampshire. Directly above, Mum regal in the back-garden of her maisonnette in Pilands; top right, Dad prepares to give Jayne away at her wedding; bottom centre, the family at Dave's wedding.
On Saturday, November 10th, 2007, at 2.15 in the morning, Molly died in her bed at Ridgeway House care home in Wiltshire, aged 84. Jayne was with her. She died peacefully. Her funeral took place on Tuesday 20th November at Kingsdown Crematorium in Swindon. Read the Order of Ceremony, the tributes read and songs performed.
