Cadmus, second son of Colonel E. E. Markwick, C.B., F.R.A.S., and Mrs. Markwick, of Boscombe, and Miss Frances Maud Pinsent, second daughter of the late Charles P. T. Pinsent, of Madras and Portswood, Southampton, and Mrs. Charles Pinsent, of Southsea. The ceremony was performed by the Vicar, the Rev. Maurice Bailey, M.A.. The bride, who was given away by her grandfather, Mr. Soden, was dressed in a white canvas coat and skirt, a crepe-de-chine blouse, and a picture hat composed of white net, and a full neck ruffle of the same; and she carried a sheaf of selected lilies. She was attended by her sister, Miss Phyllis Pinsent, who was costumed in white alpacca and a dainty white hat, adorned with daisies. Mr. H. C. Pinsent, Assistant-Paymaster, R.N. (brother of the bride) was the best man. The wedding party afterwards assembled at the residence of the bride’s mother, where a luncheon was served. Amongst those present were Colonel and Mrs. Markwick (parents of the bridegroom), Miss Markwick, Mr. and Mrs. Soden, Mrs. Chas. Pinsent, Miss Phyllis Pinsent, Mr. and Mrs. J. H.
