Gwen Husson

For many years they ran a photographic shop and studio in Llandrindod Wells, Mid-Wales.  They were also Salvation Army envoys and looked after several small SA corps including Merthyr Tydfil and Aberystwyth.  Later they ran Dragon Pottery.  Sadly, Gwen and Ernie were later divorced and she returned to Cardiff to live in Llanederyn.  I remember Ernie's parent well - Grandad Harry used to pick 'old Ernie' up and take him to Salvation Army meetings at Cardiff Cathays Corps and I recall one Sunday morning service when I was a very small boy (probably just 5 or 6 years old) when both men spoke in the meeting (Salvationist meetings often have opportunities for 'testimonies' - a chance for Salvationists to share experiences with the rest of the congregation).  Ernie's mother, Cassie, used to visit Nana Harry regularly, coming round to Templeton Avenue on her little moped.
