Arthur and Ada's grave in Perth

Geoff Barber has sent these images of his mother Freda Taylor with her family. He has added the following information too:-

They lived at 19 Fletching Road in the 1930s. Her parents were Arthur George Taylor and his wife Ada Taylor (nee Middleton).

In the 1935 photo I am not sure of which child is which, but my mother Freda Taylor is the tallest. The others would be Joyce Taylor, Winifred Tayor, Betty Taylor and Ronald Taylor. The photo would have been taken at Whitehawk. I have also attached a photo of Ada Taylor (nee Middleton) from roughly that time period. The family emigrated to Perth, Western Australia in 1948 (except my mother who had married in Brighton). My mother and father (Ronald Barber and Freda (nee Taylor) emigrated to Perth in 1950. I was born there in 1953. 

The August 1936 photo has the following people (L to R): Joyce Taylor, Freda Taylor, Winifred Taylor and Ron Taylor with possibly their mother Ada Taylor in the window in the background.  

I have also attached a photo of their grave in Perth, Western Australia. 

Geoff would love to hear from anyone with memories of his family.
