| Husband: | Cecil Ward Rodier HOOKER (1872-1965) | |
| Wife: | Dorothy Edith WILLS (1898-1988) | |
| Marriage | 3 Sep 1949 | Wandsworth, London, England |
| Streatham Congregational Church Cecil was visiting England from Fiji when he met Dorothy in Norbury. She was given away by her uncle Mr. Leonard E.Wills and best man was Mr. T.H.Wills, with brides attendant her sister Miss Nora W.H.Wills. Very much a Wills wedding! Where were the Hookers? In fact they were there, for Dorothy and her sister, aunt and mother were Hookers, since her mother was Louisa Aunger Hooker. So their meeting was in fact pre-arranged. She married her first cousin one removed. |
