Newspaper report? 

I don’t see one on FindMyPast but I don’t think the more local London papers are online.

Are they microfilmed at a library in the area?

I can't find any Digby weddings on newspaper.com

Could it be a cousins wedding with aunt standing in for the mother

I don't think so as they were not in touch with any of the cousins apparently

Thank you.
I have never heard of Gladys or Dorothy or Joan.


Possible births
Dorothy Lillian Digby Mmn Fuller 1910 Lambeth
Joan M Digby mmn Fuller 1916 Lambeth

Thank you. This name and birth means nothing to me unfortunately. MMN for the siblings was Pidgeon Howlett.

Could the fact the mother is standing next to the groom indicate that she's related to him rather than the bride?

I wondered that too. But I still don't have any male siblings it could be!

Just to complete the other unknown person from groom’s list.

Gladys Brookman Digby b 1903 Wandsworth mmn Marshall

Father looks to be James Joseph Digby who died 1904.

I think he is the brother of Daniel John Digby, the father of the other two unknown ladies so the three brides would be cousins and not part of your known family group.

thank you. I have done a lot of my tree including cousins and none of those names appear so I think it is a completely differfent set of Digbys.
