Mary Wright and Derek Hennin marriage

In 1954, a year or so after my mum and dad's wedding, Mary, who had been maid of honor at their wedding, married a footballer called Derek Hennin.

The above photograph had been written on the back, by Mary Wright, she listed the participants from right to left :

Uncle Tom, Jenny, Bill Watkinson (best man), June, Mum, Me (Mary Wright), Derek, Derek's mum, Pat, Derek's sister, Ann, Alda's daughter, Derek's dad.

So, I'll expand on the list as the Weldon family is well represented, it is interesting that Mary Wright's Uncle Tom (assuming Thomas Wright) is on the far right of the photograph, but not her father John Wright, (I have not yet established if he was alive in 1954) Jennie Lunt is next, the daughter of James Lunt and Jane (Jinnie) Weldon. Bill Watkinson the best man and then June Phillips, the daughter of John Phillips and Violet Priscilla Weldon.  Rachel Weldon is next, Mary's mother who was married to John Wright, the bride, Mary Wright, the groom, Derek Hennin and then his mother followed by Pat Hennin, his sister, Ann Lewis, daughter of Robert Lewis and Alda Weldon and then, at the far left, Derek's father.
