Tom Beesley 1933 UK trip

[seemex]

I'm sorry there's so little to go on. The photos I have, I think are all from the same trip in 1933. Tom Beesley and my mother Iris Beesley, made a trip to the the UK from China. They attended a wedding in Penkridge ( or maybe Cannock ) of John Otty and Mary Payton and visited with relatives in and around Manchester, Warrington, and Chester, with a trip over into Wales, Conwy Castle etc.
Tom's family was from Warrington area and my mother ( nee Hunter ) had family from Manchester.

John H Otty married Fanny E M Payton, Cannock RD, Q3, 1933.

Added - Staffs BMD has them marrying Penkridge, St Michael  - wonder what the outside looked like?

Added 2 -have looked at the church site and don't think the photos are taken there unless changed considerable (remember Conwy!)

I've found a full report with photo of the marriage - PM me if you'd like a snip

Reception was at Rock House, Penkridge.

13 July 1933 (Wednesday)

Rock House is an address associated with the Payton family.

I've been trying to convince myself that the background to the wedding car photo here

is simllar.

It's now listed,  as far as I can gather. Mary Payton's father was once vicar of Penkridge. According to details on Historic England, it's supposed to be now called Vicarage on maps

I don't think the original image is of them attending the marriage -  they'd probably be in morning dress. Although that wall is promising - rebuilt 


added - I tried going down the side of it in Google last night but my display  driver went funny 

added 2 - I've just taken a virtual walk along the wall and can't find a suitable spot.

Yes Gadget, if you have the photo and article, I would love a copy. It also may be helpful as I have other photos taken that day so may giove some more clues. Thank you

The Payton family was one that my mother and her sister stayed with during their time at school in Bournemouth, 1924-1928. Paytons also had a home in Torquay. The father Joseph Wattson Payton was vicar and one son, Cecil Payton, also went into the clergy ( my grandfather attended Cecil's wedding in 1938 )
I don't think the original photo for this post is connected with Payton's but it's certainly not impossible.
