Default 16th March 1898


This is the wedding of Edwin Bracher and Ellen Mary Hunt. I do not know the venue, but it may have taken place at whichever Quaker Meeting House is in Barton Regis District (Bristol area).

Back row:

1) Sophia Fanny Buck, 1869-1945 (my g-g-aunt)
2) Arthur Marshall Hunt, 1860-1938, engineer (brother of the bride and my 1st cousin 3xremoved)
3) Elizabeth Ann Hunt, 1865-1929 (sister of the bride and my 1st cousin 3xremoved)
4) Unknown

Middle row:

1) Unknown
2) Edwin Bracher, the groom, 1826-1911, retired chemist. This was his second marriage; he had lost his first wife two years before this wedding
3) Ellen Mary Hunt the bride, 1863-1937 (my 1st cousin 3xremoved)
4) Arthur John Hunt, 1827-1915, registrar and rate collector. (father of the bride and now younger than his son-in-law!)
5) Elizabeth Hunt nee Smith, 1828-1914 (mother of the bride and my g-g-g-aunt)

Front row:

1) Unknown
2) Florence Williams 1876-1961, fiancee of Frederick Charles Hunt
3) Frederick Charles Hunt 1868-1961, registrar and genealogist (brother of the bride and my 1st cousin 3xremoved)

I rescued this photo (along with lots more) from a box that had been in my mother's loft since my grandfather died in 1965. Mum reckoned she had never seen it before. Most likely it was inherited by my grandfather from his aunt, Sophia Buck who is back row, far left in the picture
