TIDESWELL
MARRIAGE FESTIVITY
On Thursday morning last the nuptials of Mr. Hedley Hill with Miss Mary Harrison, daughter of the late Mr. Francis Harrison, of Tideswell, were celebrated at St. John’s Church, Tideswell, under very pleasant auspices. The weather was delightfully fine, and, the event having become widely known, many persons came to witness it. The bride appeared extremely well in a beautiful ruby cashmere dress with ruby-satin trimmings, ruby satin hat and cream-coloured feather and wreath of orange blossom on her forehead. She was attended by Miss Margaret Harrison, Mrs. Alfred Hill, and Miss Ellen Hill, as bridesmaids, who were also very neatly attired. The bride was given away by her brother, Mr. Fernando Harrison. The Rev. S. Andrew, R.D., assisted by his brother, the Rev. James Andrew, performed the marriage ceremony. The bells rang out a merry peal at the close of the ceremony, and on the newly married pair leaving the church, they received an ovation of showers of rice. On returning to the bride’s residence, the whole party, with Rev. S. Andrew, Rev. J. Andrew, Dr. Parke, senior, and other invited guests of both families were entertained at an excellent wedding breakfast. The tables were nicely adorned with bouquets of flowers amid the choice edibles with which it was laden. The “Health of the Newly married Pair” and other kindred toasts and wishes were expressed. During the afternoon the whole party had a very enjoyable trip to Chatsworth Hall and the park. A variety of handsome and useful presents have been received by the happy couple from their friends and relations, in expression of the their good wishes.

On the 5th Instant, at Tideswell, Mr. Francis Harrison, late of Tondu Iron Works, Wales; much respected.
On the same day (6th instant) at Tideswell Moor Toll bar, , Mr. John Harrison aged 25.
Quite a bit on the Tondu Iron Works-the date of the first charge from the blast furnace, various strikes, break up of partnerships, the truck system brought into question. I think it was in Bridgend Glamorganshire, so little in Derby Mercury but plenty in other papers, but nothing which mentions Francis Harrison and no mention of the will either, though that wedding looks a bit special with all those fancy clothes.
This on a George Bark, not the same fellow clearly.

MARRIAGES
At Trinity Church, Chesterfield, of the 17th May, Mr. George Bark, to Miss Elizabeth Marriott, both of Chesterfield.
I had a look at the census, and found in 1881, that this George and Elizabeth Bark were at Sheffield Road, Chesterfield, him a cellarman born Flintham, Notinghamshire-in 1871, in says Flinton, Notttinghamshire, and again George is a porter at a spirit vaults. The story in 1883 is about a George Bark, landlord of Woolpack Inn in Chesterfield, so its the same man all the way through, but if born in Nottinghamshire, is that your family of Bark?
