| | Tabanus: Edward Hall Wood married Miss Appleton 16 Feb 1884. <The bridegroom is unfortunately deaf and partially dumb, and the service had to be interpreted to him by his best man, Mr. Henry Wood, but his responses were distinctly heard throughout the building, and were marked with much feeling and earnestness. On the conclusion of the ceremony, the register was signed, and the bridal party quitted the church amid the congratulations of their friends, and the strains of the "Wedding March," played by the organist, Mr. S. H. Bellowes. A select party was subsequently entertained at breakfast at the residence of the bride's mother, No. 4, Beaconsfield-terrace, and in the afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Wood preceded to Devon and, Cornwall, to pass their honeymoon.> (Newbury Weekly News and General Advertiser, 21 Feb 1884, p. 5) |
