Penrose family members identified so far:
Second and third from left are Dorothy Penrose Woodland (Edwin C. Penrose) standing just in front of her husband, Phil Woodland.
Counting from left to right, #8, tall man with dark hair is Dale Edwards Anderson, husband of Renee Edwards, who is standing to his right (with glasses.) Renee was a daughter of Gladys Lucile Jones Edwards. The children near them are most likely those of Renee and Dale.
Standing just below left bandstand is Gladys Jones Edwards (Jessie Penrose Jones). To her right is her sister-in-law, Sereta Taylor Jones. (Shirley Penrose Jones, Sr., Jessie Penrose Jones.)
Just below the far right bandstand, white-haired lady appears to be Marjorie Penrose Johnson (Frank Penrose.)

| Camberwell A short trip to Camberwell. |
| Penrose Street Penrose Street in the borough of Southwark is in the general area where Charles Penrose was born and raised. Before the 1880s the street appeared on maps as West Street or Hartford Place. |
| Looking along Penrose Street Penrose is a Cornish name. Some historians claim that all Penroses came from the same original Penrose family in Cornwall. Prominent 19th Century Penroses included Charles Vinicombe Penrose, a naval hero during the Napoleonic Wars. He died in 1830. One of his nephews was the English poet Matthew Arnold, whose mother was Elizabeth Penrose Arnold. So far there is no direct link between the family of Charles W. Penrose and the naval hero and the poet. |
| Camberwell Street In the early 1800s this area was a suburb of London known for its gardens and horticulture. |
| Camberwell today Today this area is a mix of older residences, green parks and modern buildings. |
| Kennington Station Underground station opened in 1890. |

| Up, Awake, Ye Defenders of Zion
By Charles W. Penrose This note is added byGideon Burton: MormonLit@byu.edu
This is a hymn that is wonderfully dated, springing as it does from the 1857 Utah War, in which the Mormons saw themselves audaciously at war with the United States; and, when it was over, felt that they had, with God's will, been granted some kind of victory.
The hymn is sung to the tune of "The Red, White, and Blue."

| A Letter from Jessie Penrose Jones to her Father, Charles Penrose In June 1914 Jessie was in Washington, DC with her daughter Gladys, helping to care for her daughter Vida Jone Bradford. Vida was recovering from the birth of her daughter Lucile Bradford.
Jessie explains some of her frustrations with genealogical research. She also complains about the heat.
This letter was transcribed and printed in the Penrose Publication. |
