This wedding photo I had never seen before until now. This is my grandmothers (Ruth) brother Malcolm & his wife Joyce, according to my Great Aunty Sheryl (My grandmother & Malcolm's sister) Joyce's first name is Eleanor & her middle name is Joyce, her maiden name was Lepper. Tragically on the 20th of April 1980 Malcolm was killed in a tractor/trailer incident, he also suffered a heart attack at the same time. Great Aunty Sheryl told me that it was such a shock to the family as everyone was so fond of Malcolm as he was a very kind hearted person.
