Wedding
This photograph was taken at the wedding
of Ralph Richardson Couper and Marjory Jane Duncan Edward.
They were married on 10 March 1911. Note Marjory's left hand
is gloveless, the better to show off her new wedding ring.
Marjory was daughter of the Edinburgh
photographer,
John Donaldson Edward.
Ralph came over to Canada from Scotland
on the ship 'Cassandra', arriving on 20th March 1911, at St.
John, New Brunswick, $65 in his pocket. He planned to go on to
Yorkton, Saskatchewan via CNR. Marjory followed,
possibly around
May or June of 1912.
