54. A double wedding on 31 March 1902. The brides were Rosina and Louisa Aldridge who married Alfred Green and William Grace. It should be fairly obvious which is which because Alfred’s father George Green who often appears in this book is the gentleman with side-whiskers standing at the back. Zephaniah Grace was the father of William and, as he was a photographer and does not appear in the picture, presumably took it. Others in the photograph are - Tom Aldridge and Flo Aldridge (top left), Kate Aldridge (centre), James Thomas, Clara Aldridge and Aubrey Batt, who later married Kate. Wilfred Aldridge is the young man on the left in the first row and Daisy Aldridge is the bridesmaid. Alfred Green later kept the Catherine Wheel.
