WITHERNSEA BRIDE

Atkinson, of Bannister-street, Withernsea, only daughter of Mr and the late Mrs A. C. Atkinson, were married at the Methodist Church, Queen-street, Withernsea, yesterday. The ceremony was conducted the Rev A. Bayliss, assisted by the Rev S. 0. Tattersall. Mr G. C. Atkinson, brother of the bride, acted as best man. Mr W. Potter was at the organ and the service was fully choral. The bride has been a member of the church choir, the bridegroom being a former organist there. Given away by her father, the bride was attired in a parchment delmonte satin gown with introduced panels of lace. The fitted sleeve came to a point on the back of the hand and was finished with tiny satin buttons from wrist to elbow. Her parchment silk net headdress held a billowy tulle veil, which formed a long train. She carried a bouquet of cream tea roses. The two bridesmaids, the Misses K. and M. T. Jowett, sisters of the bridegroom, were attired in aquamarine blue satin-faced silk dresses. Dainty capes embroidered in sequins and pearls, lace cap headdresses, lace mittens, and shoes to match, completed their attire. Their bouquets were of pink carnations. Miss Beryl Tether, cousin of the bride, was the trainbearer. She wore a dainty gown of Chantilly lace and net in a primrose shade, with a cap headdress of lace, and shoes to tone. A reception was held in the Lecture Hall, Withernsea, and the couple left later for the honeymoon, which is being spent in North Wales. The bride travelled in a blue diagonal velour model coat lavishly trimmed with opossum, over a matching gown of georgette. Her shoes and hat were to tone. The dresses of the bride, bridesmaids, and trainbearer, and the going-away ensemble were by Elsie Battle, 83, Prospect-street, Hull.

Ron and Gladys had two children: Trevor and Chris.

In 1939, when the National Register was compiled, the family were living at 7 Springfield Road, Boroughbridge.^[9]

She died on 28 April 1991^[1][10] due to bronchopneumonia and multiple myeloma. Probate for her estate was granted on 3 July 1991.^[11]
