Day 135: Legacy II

I spent the evening scanning hundreds of my mum's photos. These were among the most fascinating. The Bolton wedding of my grandparents in 1938. Nancy Bruckshaw and Alec McNeill. The elegant ladies in the top photo are flanked by my grandmother's brother, Jim, who will lose his life a couple of years after this photo is taken, flying a Spitfire in the war.
The distinguished fellow below is the minister. And my great grandfather, William McNeill. I would love to earwig on the conversation the ladies in the background are having.

Tomorrow, I'll show you the wedding gifts.
