This is a very poor photograph of Ernest and Emily's wedding group. A note on the back in Emily's handwriting shows that she wasn't very happy with the photo. She says, "Please don't show to anyone I know as they really are awful." Emily is seated on the right and Ernest is standing centrally at the back. The group includes Eveline (far right), Leonard (standing 2nd from left) and their three children, from left to right) Evelyn, John and Monica. The other adults are unknown.
