This is a list from a photocopied clippings from a 1916 newspaper (name unknown) that was sent to me in 1983 as it included the date of my grandparent's wedding. Not good enough quality for scanning.

Also this announcement that might help to track the name of the paper and the reference to 'the Mission" is intriguing!

There will be a Social and Dance in the Darnall Public Hall on Thursday, May 11th at 6.30pm. The proceeds will go

to defraying the cost of recent repairs in the Mission.

On Thursday, May 18th, the Girls' Guild will give again "Beauty and the Beast" in the Public Hall, at 7.30pm.

Yours very sincerely,

J. HAYTHORNTHWAITE.

Apparently J. Haythornthwaite was the Vicar at Holy Trinity, Darnall appointed in 1912.

This is a first: the name of the Church in which my grandparents were married......

I reckon it could be safely assumed that all those weddings and baptisms were performed at Holy Trinity in 1916.....

This is fun!!

Seems that the cutting is from the parish magazine of Holy Trinity, Darnall. Going by the dates, I am

guesstimating an early May edition.
