MARRIAGE OF MR WALTER SHEWELL CORDER.

The wedding of Mr W.S. Corder, of the Low Lights Chemical Works, with Miss Margaret Lindsay Watson, of Grove Hill, Middlesbrough, took place yesterday, at St. Cuthbert's Church, in the pretty little village of Marton, near Middlesbrough. The vicar, the Rev G.W. Trevor, was the officiating clergyman. Mr Percy Corder, brother of the bridegroom, was the best man, and the bride was given away by her uncle, Mr Anthony Harris. There were four bridesmaids, Miss Helen Lindsay Watson, sister of the bride; Miss Corder and Miss E.F. Corder, and Miss E. Spence Watson, cousins of the bride. The wedding breakfast was served at Grove Hill, at the residence of the bride's mother, to a party of about forty guests, and in the afternoon the happy pair left, amidst good wishes, for Darlington, en route for a driving tour through the English Lake District.
