Simons – Griffiths Wedding - 1936
 |
On Saturday Mr Reg. Simons, tradesman of Lingdale, was married to Miss Elizabeth Griffiths, of Dixon Street, Lingdale at the Trinity Methodist Chapel, Redcar. The Rev. G.H. Marshall officiated, and MR. R. Bell of Redcar was the best man.
Miss Griffiths wore a two piece ensemble in dove gray, with hat and veil. She was given away by her brother, Mr. W. Griffiths of Head Farm, Lingdale. Sister Brockbank of Bolton Hospital, was bridesmaid and wore a navy blue two piece ensemble.
The reception was held in Rushby’s Café near Redcar, after which the bridal couple left for London. Mrs Simons’ travelling dress was a navy blue two piece. The honeymoon is being spent at the Strand Palace Hotel.
Before her marriage Mrs. Simons was a nurse by profession. She undertook her training at Hull, and took her certified Midwives’ Board Certificate at Halifax. Since then she has served at Stockton and Thornaby Hospital, Edinburgh and Norwich. At Norwich she had nine years’ service and was assistant matron. The staff presented her with an eiderdown and a bedspread.
Although born in Wales, her home has been Lingdale since she was 15 months old.
Mr Simons is also a native of Lingdale, His father was the village constable some 40 years ago, when strength was chief item necessary. Instead of following his fathers’ profession, Mr Simons became a tradesman, opening a pork butcher’s shop. He subsequently extended his business and now has interests in the grocery trade, estate agency and insurance.
Mr. and Mrs. Simons are to live at Lingdale.
A Lingdale Catastrophe.
If by chance you visit Lingdale though the sun maybe shining, yet you will see men, haggard of eye, as if weighed down by some great sorrow or crushed by some great catastrophe. Such a catastrophe has happened.
Ten men, united in a common bond have seen their beloved president borne to the “united State”. Ten men wish to convey to their leader’s wife their deepest sympathy for the happenings of the weekend; but such is the bond between the company that ‘tis hoped all will be well.
President may he be, but greater honours are in store for Mr. R. Simons, chief of the Lingdale Ananias Club, when he returns to Lingdale.
On Saturday he was married at Redcar to Miss Elizabeth Griffiths, also of Lingdale, so a member the club stated: but who’s to know it’s true?
Mr. and Mrs Simons are very well known in Lingdale. Mr. Simons has lived here many years, being a grocer and estate agent. Mrs Simons is a nurse by profession and has worked in many well known hospitals. The good wishes of the people are theirs.
