Wivenhoe People 1938

I've attached a photo of the wedding between Olive May Scofield and  Leslie Jackson Cuthbert .

It appears to have been taken within the grounds of St Mary the Virgin Church in Wivenhoe where the wedding took place on 4 June 1938.



I have also attached an outline drawing of the people in the photo, which I have used reference the identities of the people I know:



A Len Cousins,  B - unknown, C - William (Bill) Hillyard, D - Mildred Parker (nee Hillyard),  E - Albert Parker, F – unknown, G - unknown, H - Beatrice (Triss) Cook, I - unknown,  J Stan Scofield, K - Stan [Scofield]?, L - unknown, M - unknown, N - unknown,  O - unknown, P - unknown, Q  - Ethel Hillyard (nee Cook), R Alfred Sparling,  S - JimSparling,  T - Leslie Cuthbert, U - Olive Scofield, V Ellen Sparling,  W - Sarah Scofield (nee Cook), X - Harry (Cliff) Scofield, Y - unknown, Z - unknown, 1 Gwen Cousins.



Olive was born in Wivenhoe and was married from her parents (Cliff and Sarah Scofield) home in Anglesea Road.

Leslie was born and lived in Wivenhoe but at the time of his marriage he was living in Romford.

Family connections of the known people in the photo:



Ethel Hillyard (nee Cook) is Olive’s aunt (Ethel is Sarah Scofield’s (nee Cook) sister.

Mildred Parker (nee Hillyard) is Olive’s cousin (Mildred is Ethel’s daughter).

Albert Parker is Mildred’s husband.

Beatrice (Triss) Cook was married to Lewis Cook. Lewis is Sarah Scofield’s (nee Cook) brother. Lewis is probably one of the men in the photo but I don’t know which one he might be.

Stan Scofield is Olive’s uncle (Cliff Scofield’s brother)

I am hoping that some of the visitors to your web site may be able to identify some of the unknown people. I wasn't sure if you could upload the two images together on your web pages so I've also created a joined image, which may work out easier to upload and look better.

More information - A – is Len Cousins K - is Stan Scofield (Olive’s brother) R – is Alfred J Sparling (aka Jack) S – is James A Sparling (aka Jim) V – is Ellen M Sparling (aka Tuspey) 1 – is Gwen Cousins (Olive's friend) Leslie’s father died when he was young. Leslie’s mother Daisy was remarried to Horace E Sparling. Horace already had two children James A Sparling (born 1917) and Alfred J Sparling (born 1919). Daisy a Horace had two more children, Ellen M Sparling (born 1920) and Peter Edward Sparling (born 1925). So James (Jim) and Alfred (Jack) are Leslie’s step-brother’s and Ellen (Tupsey) is Leslie’s half –sister. Horace and Daisy had already died before the wedding in 1938. Jack was in the Royal Air Force. Ellen went on to marry Albert Jennings in Paddington in 1942.
