  •  

  • Marguerite G. Ensom (1942- )

  • Marriage:

  • Jun 1940 (age 23)

  • Croydon, Surrey7 8

  •  

  • The groom was an Airman in the RAF and presumably has been called up or had volunteered for wartime service. The bride was wearing a white wedding dress. To provide one in wartime was quite difficult because of clothes rationing but it is thought that brides to be were issued with additional clothing coupons. However, a more probable explanation is that she adapted an existing dress or borrowed one from a friend or relative.The date is based on their marriage registration in the second quarter of 1940 and the summery weather depicted in the wedding photographs. The guest list was determined from a photograph taken at the wedding breakfast which was held at the bride's parents house at 10 Grove Road, Thornton Heath, Surrey. Why none of the groom's relatives were present is not known. Perhaps because it was wartime they were unable to travel or perhaps they were there and were photographed with the couple separately but the photograph has not survived in Pat Ward's archive.
