ROBERTS + NORMAN wedding - July 16 1921
Originally uploaded by Leone Fabre.

89 years ago today my grandparents were married at St Kilda, Victoria, Australia.

Frederick William James ROBERTS born. 21 Dec 1900 at St Kilda, Melbourne Australia.
May Eileen Rose NORMAN born 16 Nov 1900 at St Kilda, Melbourne Australia.
Married at St Kilda on 16 July 1921 and had 4 children.

My grandfather was an avid photographer and he often took me with him on his photography walks!!! I often wonder what he would be thinking today of digital cameras and computers as he died in 1972 he knew nothing of either.

He started off as a projectionist and one of the first men in Melbourne to run a movie theatre. By the late 1950's he had six theatres around Melbourne at various times.
