Here's a starter on Rev A Hanbury Tracy, just need to find if he's related

Rev. the Hon. Alfred Francis Algernon Hanbury-Tracy, M.A. (Oxon.),
 Vicar of St. Barnabas, Pimlico, S.W., b. 13 Oct. 1846; m. 21 Ap. 1868, Agnes
 Jane, da. of Henry James Hoare of Morden Lodge

Arthur and Marjorie are mentioned many times in the newspapers for catching big fish, the giving of needlework prices etc etc but not one blasted photo!!

They were still living in Balhomie when he died in 1961.  I wonder what 225,000 pounds would be worth in today's terms.

I'm sure I remember seeing a Reverend mentioned in connection with the Hanbury's somewhere along the line.

The newspaper report says Arthur and Marjorie were to spend their honeymoon in Bessborough, Ireland.  Marjorie's mother was born Sara Kathleen Ponsonby.  Sara Kathleen's father was Reverend Walter William Brabazon Ponsonby, 7th Earl of Bessborough, and her brother was Edward Ponsonby, 8th Earl of Bessborough.  That probably explains the honeymoon venue.

Wedding sounds like a fabulous affair. I note the prestigious London  addresses where the families lived. 

There are different ways to calculate the value of money related to today. This calculator estimates that £225,000 in 1961 would be equivalent to around 4and a half million today. I think if you fiddle with the calculator you can get different results:

Wow Ruskie, 4 and a half million!!!  I cannot believe the wealth of the families who owned the houses in Caz's photos.  What a fabulous collection to have (you lucky girl Caz  ).  I cannot help but wonder who owned and then gave up this wonderful collection of photos.

I wonder whose collection this was too. I could never give them up even if they were not my family.
You'd expect it's likely to come onto the market through a house clearance.

Caz, have you heard from the person you purchased the photos from to see if they have more from the same lot? I'm hoping .....

Nothing like keeping it in the family!

That Rev Hanbury Tracey goes back to a John Hanbury, but can't see a connection to our Hanbury's unless he's a brother to Osgood Hanbury.

  Quite a catch then Mr Hearthrob.  I pretty sure he has living grandchildren, and possibly even one of his three children.

That's the thing though, they just look like your everyday happy snaps in my hand, but when they are scanned and viewed on screen  (I have a Mac) they look magnificent.  But of course,when you discover the story behind them, that's another thing yet again!
