    2. Nancy Giles
    3. While doing volunteer data entry at our local library in Ontario, California, I came across this wedding announcement which might be of some interest to someone on this list. This does not relate to the Nicolls or Jones surnames that I am researching personally. Nancy Norton Nichols Claims Bride In Double-Ring Rite In Wales Newlyweds, Mr and Mrs. Norton Nichols, Jr., who exchanged nuptial vows and rings in a marriage ceremony solemnized in Llanelly, Wales, on July 14, were the honor guests Sunday at a wedding reception given by Mr and Mrs. Norton Nichols, Sr., 213 West J street, and Mr and Mrs. Robert Nichols, brother and sister-in-law of the bridegroom, at the latter's home, 1710 North Central avenue. The bride, the former Sarah Jane Jones, daughter of Mr and Mrs. E. J. Jones, of Llanelly, and her husband, arrived in the United States by plane from London, England, on August 11, reaching the West End last Tuesday. The bridegroom left the States in June for the British Isles to see the girl he met eight years ago while serving with U. S. military forces in Wales and with whom he had been corresponding. The nuptial troth was pledged in Christ church in Llanelly with the bride entering the church on the arm of her father. She wore a gown of lemon net over taffeta, a brown picture hat and brown accessories for the wedding, and she was attired in the same costume for the reception. At the reception, which followed the lemon yellow color scheme, the hostess wore a pink eyelet dress in a ballerina length and a corsage of baby orchids. The bridegroom's mother was attired in a blue crepe dress worn iwth a corsage of the miniature orchids. The bride wore an orchid corsage, too. Assisting at the garden event were Mrs. O. D. Hayward, Mrs. Robert Reed, Mrs. Howard Sagehorn and Mrs. Gerald Brown. Miss Melinda Brown circulated the guest book among the 75 persons attending. After the bridal couple cut the first piece of the wedding cake, they served pieces of a horse shoe shaped wedding cake brought from their reception in Wales to the assembled guests. The newlyweds will make their home in Lancaster where Mr. Nichols will begin his second year as a teacher in the social science department at Antelope Valley high school. He is a graduate of Chaffey high school and San Jose State college. He received his master's degree from Clarke university in Worcester, Mass., and his teacher's credential from Claremont Graduate school. The new Mrs. Nichols was employed as a cashier for an insurance company in Cardiff, Wales before her marriage. The Daily Report, Ontario, California August 19, 1952
