Hi,

I was just doing a search for my Grandmothers family name of Priddy and I found this blog, amazing, my grandmothers name was Maud, she had a brother named George, I saw the photo and looked through my photos and there he was at her wedding in Daventry also in the picture is their Mother Jane and Father who I believe was called James?. Also in the pic are Emma sitting next to the bridegroom, Albert on the far left hand side Emma's husband Sam with his hand on her shoulder with Joe in between him and James. The eldest sister is standing between George and James, they always made me call her Aunt Sis so I have no idea of her real name, any information that you could give me would be wonderful. I also have a pic of one of the brothers who married Aunt Win, not sure which one it is though.
