In a reference in our last issue to the Golden Wedding of Mr. and Mrs. A.C. Drury, of 16, Tickhill Street, Denaby Main, writes our Denaby correspondent, I stated that Mr. Drury retired from Denaby Main Colliery. In fact he was at one time employed at Denaby Colliery, but was transferred to Cadeby Colliery and from there he retired.
Mr. Drury is 69 and Mrs. Drury 68, and their Golden Wedding party was held on Sunday at the home of their daughter and son-in-law Mr. and Mrs. T. Wilson of 5, Locksley Avenue, Conisbrough.
At the party were four generations including Mrs. Drury, her daughter Mrs. T. Wilson, grand-daughter Mrs. Slater, and great-grandchild five-years-old Julie slater. About 20 members of the family and friends attended and Mr. and Mrs. Drury received may cards, gifts and flowers. Mr. and Mrs. Drury wish to thank their daughter and son-in-law for a wonderful golden wedding anniversary party, and family, friends and neighbours for lovely cards and gifts received.
