Rushden Echo, 30th July 1920
Robinson – Willmott

At Higham Ferrers Wesleyan Church yesterday morning a pretty wedding took place, the Rev. C. Borman officiating. The contracting parties were Miss Gladys Lilian Willmott, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. Willmott, of 68 High-street, Higham Ferrers, and Mr. Edward Robinson, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. A. Robinson, of 49 Harborough-road, Rushden. The bride looked very becoming in a fawn gabardine costume and a cream georgette hat. She carried a showed bouquet and she wore a fine gold horse-shoe shaped brooch, the dift of the bridegroom. Her father gave her away. The bride was attended by two bridesmaids, Misses Rosa Ward, of Irthlingborough (cousin of the bride), and Ivy Robinson (niece of the bridegroom), who wore cream shantung dresses and cream georgette hats underlined with blue. The bridesmaids carried handsome bouquets and wore gold brooches, the gifts of the bridegroom. The bride’s gift to the bridegroom was a gold ring. The best man’s duties were ably carried out by Mr. A. Robinson (bridegroom’s brother).

A reception was held at the bride’s home, and the happy couple left by the 1.19 train for Yarmouth for their honeymoon.

Amongst the many presents were a copper kettle and a brass stand and candlestick from the bridegroom’s fellow-workers at Messrs. Green and Coe, Rushden, also a handsome gift from the bride’s fellow-workers. The bridegroom served with the Machine Gun Corps in France and Flanders, losing his left leg and several fingers in action at Ypres in 1916.
