Elaine was given away by Ted Mayes.The groomsman on the right was friend Walter Jones. The other members of the wedding party are unknown. Religion caused some friction with this union. Elaine was Church of England and John was Jewish. John’s family disapproved of him marrying out of his faith. John’s cousin Libby Blashki, (daughter of Annie) was the only one from that side of the family who attended, I believe. Things smoothed over, especially when granddaughter, Margaret (myself) was born. As John was also an only child Margaret was Amelia and Alex's only grandchild.
