Birmingham Daily Gazette: Wednesday 25th April 1934

Christmas Market: Clearing Debt on Boys’ and Girls’ Union: Plans for a Christmas Market at the Town Hall in aid of the Birmingham Boys’ and Girls’ Union are already being made. A reception is being given today at Little Wick by Mrs. Roy Pinsent to enable those who are running or helping to run stalls and other activities, to meet Lady Patricia Ward who is acting chairman of the executive on behalf of her brother, the Earl of Dudley. The object of this effort is to raise funds for finally clearing the Union of its accumulated debt. It will be recalled that in December Mr. Roy Pinsent gave L. 1,000 for this purpose on condition that a similar sum was given by other friends. This sum was found. In fact, the total sum raised, including Mr. Pinsent’s gift, was well over £2,000, leaving the Union a little more than £1,000 in debt. It is hoped to raise considerably more than this sum at the Christmas Market.

Gloucestershire Echo: Saturday 7th April 1934

Old Cheltenham Families United: Bride’s Lace Train: The wedding of Mr. Robert Symons Burton and Miss Margaret Anne Willoughby at the Parish Church to-day was one of the most interesting that has taken place in Cheltenham for some time. Both Miss Willoughby and Mr. Burton are members of families that have resided in Cheltenham for several generations. Mr. Burton is the son of the late Lieut-Colonel A. R. Burton and Mrs. Burton, of Trevalgar, Cheltenham, and Miss Willoughby is the daughter of the late Captain and Mrs. E. C. Willoughby. Captain Willoughby was editor of the Gloucestershire Echo at the time of his death during the war. The bride has been living with her grandmother, Mrs. Ryland, at Ombersley, Cheltenham. Miss Willoughby and her younger sister, Miss June Willoughby, have many friends throughout Cheltenham and Gloucestershire. Besides being very well known in the social circles of the district, they have made a name for themselves as keen and promising golfers. They also play tennis and squash rackets and are the equal of many men players in these games. Great sympathy is extended to Miss June Willoughby, who, being unwell is unable to be the chief bridesmaid to her sister. Mr. Burton is a lieutenant in the Royal Artillery. The calling of the Army is one that many members of his family have followed: MANY FRIENDS AT CHURCH: There were many friends at the Parish Church, where the Rev. Gordon Sheldon, rector of Cheltenham, officiated. The bride’s gown was of “off white” heavy satin, and it fell in rich folds, forming a train, over which beautiful old Limerick lace hung. The headdress comprised a net cap enriched by pearls and orange blossom. The bride was given away by her cousin, Mr. Roy Pinsent …
