May Davidson,
Born abt 1894 in Kirkandrews on Esk, Carlisle.
A wedding invitation was included in the album from
Mr & Mrs E BARKER,
requesting the pleasure of the company of
MR & MRS BLENKINSHIP,
at the marriage of their daughter,
RUTH BARKER
to
MR. THOMAS HUNTER,
on Saturday 18th November 1943
at
St. Lukes Church, Ousby, Penrith.
The invitation may refer to either of the photographs on this page as both dress codes , appear to be of that era.
Perhaps the invitation was sent to Ada Nicholson (Top Right) and her then husband John Blenkinship.
Named as Blenkinsop in the FreeBMD.
