As far as relationships go the groom was a first cousin of my father's and the brides family had the local shop in Ardroil which you may well have visited the first time you were in Crowlista as a child. There is also a distant relationship between ourselves and the bride which I haven't time to go into at the moment. I had worked out whose wedding it was before I read Pat's comment Dolly Norma My guess is that after the wedding Uncle Peter was given this photo, possibly as a thank you for precenting at the wedding, and that P.N. would have inherited it.
