Who were Mr and Mrs ‘T’ from a photo (1930s?) maybe Stockton on Tees.

Found this photo in other family photos and wondered if any of the wizards on this site could shed any light on who Mr and Mrs T were!

Not much to go on I’m afraid -

‘Mr & Mrs T. Silver wedding’ is written on the back.

I think the woman with glasses standing behind the seated woman also with glasses is my Auntie Jane Mudd (MS Patton). If correct, the man standing next to her in the light jacket is possibly her husband Leonard Mudd.

Jane McPhee Patton was born in 1911, married Len in 1936 and died
in 1988. I think she lived in Stockton on Tees for her adult life, and was a teacher. I don’t think they had any children but this is just a hazy recollection of family conversations a long time ago.

Appreciating this is a very tall order but it would be great to see if there could be any leads which may shed light on Mr and Mrs T!

Thank you!

Leonard Mudd 1910 was the son of Willie Mudd, brother of Sarah Jane, so his Auntie.

Married 25 years would make the photo June 1940 - if it is indeed the couple.

Possible?

Wow!

Thank you very much Cas, I think you’ve solved the mystery of Mr and Mrs T, and so quickly!

I’m persuaded it was Mr and Mrs Tossell celebrating their silver wedding anniversary in the photo and look forward to finding out more about this branch of the family.

Thank you again.
