Ivory gloves, dried roses, photos of the bride and groom and a wedding dress. It was someone’s life in a box but it nearly ended up as rubbish.

"It seemed sad that these once-treasured items had been discarded and ended up in charity shops or in vintage markets," he said."It's somebody's life that's been kept in a box and ended up in a dumpster."He discovered the couple had no children, and their estate was left to Gertrude's younger brother, Roy Allen, who left everything to distant cousins, Jim and Lesley Truscott.

They decided to send it to Mr Truscott's sister, Jenny, who lived in Perth and was interested in "all things old". She said it could be because the wedding box, though fascinating, was not relevant to the history of the Kalamunda area.However, Mr Truscott was able to shed light on one mystery at least – the reason behind Gertrude and Fred's long engagement.
