wedding of Mr Jones and Miss Smith with a Wheatley brother
« on: Wednesday 04 April 18 17:00 BST (UK) »
The wedding of Mr S. Jones and Miss R.D. Smith appears in the Sevenoaks Chronicle and Kentish Advertiser - 17 April 1936 page 15 column 5.
Miss Smith was given away by Mr Percy Wheatley "her brother" and the bridesmaids were Miss Kathleen Wheatley (niece of the bride) …… and Gracie Wheatley.

Mr. Jones was from Leigh Kent and I have found the Smith family in 1911 - 10 Priory Walk Tonbridge Kent.
Census reference   RG14PN4083 RG78PN157 RD50 SD2 ED10 SN103
RG78 code number   157
Piece number   4083

Can anyone explain why Miss Smith's brother was Mr. Percy Wheatley and Kathleen Wheatley her niece?

thank you
