Went to see my mum tonight and she gave me some old family photos. One was my grans first wedding photo - on the back is written 'love from Rene and Tom'. Rene is my gran- Irene, Tom is her husband. His surname was Derrick. The wedding could have been in chipping Sodbury Gloucestershire registration district - or possibly in Brixham, Devon - they did go to live there afterwards. Question - what district does Brixham come under? Lisa
