From an earlier clipping, about the death of Niall Burnett, the student minister who was groomsman in the Shaw-Cunningham wedding, and his death in 1941 - the obituary said he had been student minister in Hanwell in 1938 and 1939. The dates for two articles on the back of the clipping about the wedding are June 30, and July 1.)
