May L. Marnham's Wedding, December 1939

May L. Marnham's Wedding, December 1939
My mother's cousin May L. Marnham marrying Thomas B. Bell.
May was Polly (Mary E. Gregory) Marnham and Edward G. Marnham's daughter.
The little bridesmaid with the ringlets is May's (and my mother's) cousin Ena Woolf who was Lillian (Gregory) Woolf's oldest daughter.
The other two bridesmaids are unknown.
They were married in Edmonton, Essex, England.
May and Tom went on to have a daughter, Linda, but were eventually divorced.
May's brother Teddy Marnham was a rear gunner in the RAF and was killed during WW2.

Here is a note from the other site, where I connected with a fourth cousin - who ended up sending my mother a beautiful photo of her mother, who died when my mother was two.

Hi! May Marnham was my Grandmother - I'm Linda's daughter. I can't believe all your fabulous photos. We have exact copies of some of them in the album at home. Mum remembers Hazel and Uncle Will and is so excited to see all the pictures. It would be great to hear from you. You were right about the wedding photo - it was a Christmas wedding. Nanny (May) made the dress herself and the fur was off-cuts from fur coats she used to line. Very best wishes, Alexandra x

My God....that little bridesmaid, Ena, looks just like you, Deborah!!

Really? that's funny, I can't see it. I don't think she did really but it's funny how family comes through.
I think May looks like she could be a sister of my mother.

I can't believe you can't see it....there is a picture of you that is the image of little Ena. I'm going to try and remember the actual photo....I know it exists somewhere.

Maybe it's that photo of you as the queen when we all dressed up. I think Frances has a copy of that photo....maybe I can get her to post that (pretty sure she has a working scanner)

Yeah, I'd like to see that. I only have pictures from the next year when Linda was queen and Nicholas was the king.

I thought the thing that the bride maid are hiding thier hands in was suppoused to be carried only in winter to warm the hands?

Despite the short sleeves, those boleros are fur trimmed, so I think it's a winter wedding and the muffs for their hands are part of a decorative winter wedding.
