Baird & Macfarlane

 

My grandparents Jean Weir Macfarlane and James Barr Baird after their wedding in September 1931.

My Gran was in the Red Cross so they formed a guard of honour outside the church.

My gran wrote all the names on the reverse of this picture, they are on the left front to back, Ruby Simpson, Miss Henderson, Marion Birkmyre, on the right back to front are Miss Strang, Mrs Boyle and Gertrude Scoular.

My Mum has added a note that she wore Ruby Simpson's wedding veil when she got married in 1960.

My Grandparent's best man was Leslie Slight, the bridesmaid was Jean Wallace.

I'll need to check the relationship but my Grandpa's uncle Harry Thomson was married to Nettie Slight, Leslie was related there somehow. Jean Wallace was a first cousin (once removed) of my Gran
