Extract from letter from Joan Hunter (Jan 2002)

Ronald married Edith Wood - I think they went to the same church, Oakwellgate Mission in Gateshead. I was a little bridesmaid and I seem to remember it was around my 5th birthday, which was on 5 August 1930.... they moved to Barnsley where, sadly, Edith died [of Pneumonia]
