A wedding cake in two books was made for the marriage at St. Barnabas' Church, Wellingborough on Saturday of Miss Ivy Summerville Viggers, of "The Acacias," Weavers-road, Wellingborough, the only daughter of the late Mr. H.R. and Mrs. Viggers, of Wellingborough, and Mr. Raymond Irwin, B.A. (Oxon), the County Librarian. Volume I. bore the initials of the bridegroom, and Volume II. those of the bride. Miss Viggers is the only daughter of the later Mr., H.R., and Mrs Viggers, and Mr. Irwin is a member of a Cockermouth, Cumberland, family. Before she became librarian at Wellingborough, Miss Viggers was for two years at Northampton Free Library in Abington-street. Mr. Irwin, when at Oxford, rowed for St. John's, and was in the winning eight. The service, which was of a simple character, was conducted by the Vicar, the Rev. H.F.E. Wigram, and the bride was given away by a friend, Mr. P. Kornblau, of London. Miss Viggers wore a gown of ivory satin, trimmed with pale yellow rose-buds, and her veil, lent by a friend, was surmounted by a wreath of orange blossoms. Her shoes were white, and she carried a bouquet of white and yellow chrysanthemums. The bridesmaid, Miss Hodgkins, of Wellingborough, a friend of the bride, wore a yellow georgette dress, and her bouquet was of yellow chrysanthemums. She wore a gold bangle, the gift of the bridegroom. Mr. F.J. Birkbeck, of Northampton, Assistant Secretary for Education for Northamptonshire, and a friend of the bridegroom, was the best man. Schubert's "Serenade" was played by Mr. Watts before the service, and the hymn was, "O God, our help." After the ceremony Mendelssohn's Wedding March was played. After a reception at the home of Mrs. Wake Clark, Silver-street, Wellingborough, Mr. and Mrs. Irwin left by car for their honeymoon. On their return they will live in Wellingborough. The bride's present to the bridegroom was a ring, and the bridegroom gave the bride a silver toilet brush, comb, and mirror. There were numerous other presents. |

COUNTY LIBRARIAN RESIGNS AN APPOINTMENT IN LANCASHIRE A FINE RECORD Mr. Raymond Irwin has resigned his appointment as County Librarian for Northamptonshire. He has been appointed County Librarian for Lancashire. [ . . . ] CHAIRMAN'S TRIBUTE The Chairman of the County Library Sub-Committee, Mr. A.F. Austin, said that when Mr. Irwin came to Northampton they had no library, but he had so built up the work that they now had a library in every town and village in the county. He had been most helpful and courteous in his work and a great deal of the success of the library, which had been eminently successful, was due to him. The vice-chairman of the Education Committee, Mr. A.E. Elkington, said Mr. Irwin had done the real spadework in the establishment of the county libraries. |
