John Henry (Harry) Chugg and Olive Hunter Canadian Chugg Family Generation 3 Back
Hello Michael;
Here is the picture of my parents wedding. I know they were married in November, but I am not sure of the date.
My parents, Hector Chugg and Evelyn Burke, are at the bottom right hand corner [looking at the picture].
Uncle Harry Chugg, [father's brother] is at the left hand side.
The two young women above Harry are his two sisters.
The young woman above and to the left of my mother is another sister of my father.
The sisters names are Grace, Beatrice and Hazel. I am sorry that I don't know which is which.
I was always told that I looked like my father's sisters. My name is Caroline Hazel, I was named after my aunt.
I just found out my parents were married on Nov. 21st, 1927.
'Til later..........CARRIE
