The joining in matrimony of Francis and Mary Eliza was a big posh wedding!

I just love it when they list the presents! And who gave them.  The Shame.
At least they didn’t say how much the cheques were for.

Are some of the gifts stacked up and ready for the sale before departure here? ;D
Well, probably not the cheques ::)

That sale included a 'Domestic' Vaccum cleaner .... what was its power source?  240V 50Hz or what - Hot Air?

That wedding gift list was a hoot!  ;D

Giving a cheque would definitely have been the best way to go (of course no pun intended!)   :P

I wonder if Mabel W BEST died quite young?

BEST  Mabel W
Aged   48

I not see her on records a few years later, though Francis is visible.

Part quote from reply #3...

1. Suzan Maxine FARMER b 1942 d 2017  who married (still living) in 1965 and divorced him in 1968

she was an actress. Doesn't seem to have had any children or remarried

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/183668129

The other child likely to be still living but who they are is hard to tell.
on FreeBMD there are several Farmer/Best births in the period but no others in Maidstone, so cannot be sure which they might be.  Maybe the one Tonbridge registration?



Yes the other child is a life peer in the House of Lords. Born 1944 in Kent.

Might send him an e-mail. How does one address a peer??
