Hello Folks, Please see www.eyemead.com/CANUHELP.htm#31 Its Problem #31 at the top. Can you read the last word of an inscription on a photo of a wedding which took place in Wirksworth in 1872? It reads "August 7th 1872 Relatives at the Wedding of H.A.Hubbersty and F.A.Hubbersty *******" The last word may be the name of the place where the photo was taken. To me it looks like "-mill" but I can find no placename in Derbyshire that looks like the writing. The Wedding took place on August 7th in Wirksworth, so all these people cannot have moved far from the Church in all that heavy clothing! The main people concerned owned Wirksworth Hall, a few yards from the Church but the windows do not match. Can U help, I just can't read it. Hopefully, John Palmer, Dorset, England Author of Wirksworth website www.wirksworth.org.uk
It couldn't be Groom's Mill, could it? The tail of the g of 'wedding' above fogs the issue a bit.

Could groom have anything to do with bride-groom?? I don't know if they'd have shortened it then.

Hi John Could it be Groom's niece? Looking at the photo, there seems to be more than one wedding taking place. The 'and' sign in between H U Hubbersty & F A Hubbersty seems to be the same just before the words you can't read, hence Relative(s) at the Wedding of H U Hubbersty & F. A Hubbersty & Grooms niece. Also, to me, it looks like H U Hubbersty and H A Hubbersty. Hope this helps as we all see things a little differently!
