Our family tree: Weddings

This is my cousin Beattie and her husband Bob who lived in Coventry and later at Mortehoe North Devon. Jean.
 
George Hall and Doris Woolgar, married in Lewisham, 6th June 1937.
They eventually settled in Walton on the Naze, Essex, where George became the town baker. The Woolgars are my side of the family by marriage, and George & Doris' granddaughter and I have helped each other construct family trees. I told her I remembered her as a toddler when we visited her grandparents on holiday many years ago!
 
Hope you folk do not mind but this is another one from our family album.
Its the second wedding for my sister in law after the death off her husband Goff in WORLD WAR II.
It shows PEARL (HUMPHRESON) (Nee Benton ) & new husband JAMES MOORE.
The little blonde bridesmaid on the right as you look at the pic; is my wife Pamela.
 
Keep them coming Keith. They are all great photo's and I'm so glad I have mine to look back on. I know some people who'se grandparents photo's were just cleared out when they passed away. Must get sorting again. Jean.
 
Keith we don't mind at all. Love seeing all the different clothes and settings.

Hi Donna,

Lovely to see your grandparents wedding photo. I worked in Nairobi in '73 and '74. I wonder where in Nairobi it was taken.

Ann
 
There was a club/bar we used to go to at the air strip. But I can't remember the name, as usual.

Ann
 
No, I was an actress at the theatre in Nairobi. But there were a lot of clubs and bars that were popular with the colonials and ex service personnel that stayed on in Kenya. I loved it out there, I bet your grandparents did too.

Ann

Uncle Bill was a giant of a man he was often called on to sort out family squabbles including domestics in Henage Street. He also served in the guards.
 
Hi Mo and Wendy - what beautiful photos they are. Both the bride's have similar shoes don't they. They both look lovely.

Sorry posted too soon. The first is the Pheasey side from Cubington my grandad Taplin is the third gent from the left. The second is my cousin Carols wedding from West Brom the third another Cubbington wedding but no names on the back and the fourth is aunt Freda from Ireland and uncle Normans second wedding. Should have said second reception as the church wedding was in Ireland Dublin to be precise. Jean.
