Miss Georgine Marg (Mollie) Singleton, elder daughter of Mrs. Marie Singleton and the late Mr. E. Singleton, 3, Woodfield Avenue, Mexbro’, married to Mr. John H. Cadwallader, son of Mr. and Mrs. G. Cadwallader, of Bolton-on-Dearne, at the Mexboro’ Parish Church on Monday. The bride’s mother has the distinction of being the first and only woman member of the Mexboro’ Urban Council (of which she has been vice- chairman), and has for years taken a prominent part in political and social activities throughout the Don Valley.
The ceremony, which was conducted by the Vicar, the Rev. E. B. A. Somerset, was choral, the organist being Miss Ena Sanderson, L.R.A.M.
The bride, who was given away by her mother, wore a full gown of white angel skin, of medieval design. Her veil was of embroidered tulle, held by a coronet of pearls and orange blossom. She also wore a string of pearls, the gift of her godmother, Mrs. H. I. Walton, Sheffield, and carried a shower bouquet of cream roses.
Three bridesmaids were in attendance, Miss Eulalie Singleton (sister of the bride). Miss Kate Cadwallader (sister of the bridegroom), and Miss Renne Cadwallader (cousin of the bridegroom) and they were dressed in apricot floral georgette over apricot slips, ground length and sleeveless, with caped berthe bodices and black velvet waistbands. They wore black crinoline hats, trimmed to tone with the dresses, and carried baskets of cream and apricot sweet peas and fern. The best man was Mr. J. Bedford, and the groomsmen were Mr. A. Liversidge (Swinton) and Mr. C. Booting. After the ceremony a reception was held at St. Aiden’s Church Hall, where Mrs. Singleton. who wore a gown of grey crepe suede and black picture hat, received the guests. Mrs. Cadwallader, the bridegroom’s mother, wore a dress of beige lace and hat to tone. Among the guests were Mr. Tom Williams, M.P., and Mrs. Williams, the Rev. E. B. A. Somerset and Mrs. Somerset, and Mr. and Mrs. G. F. Carter.
Later, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Cadwallader left for the Yorkshire moors, the bride travelling in a dress of brown floral ninon and shell pink georgette, coat of beige cavalry suiting, and large-brimmed beige hat. The bride and bridegroom received many handsome and useful gifts.
