Coup-Else-August 13th, at Matlock Parish Church, by the Rev.
J. W. Kewley, Mr. William Edward Coup of Loughborough and Miss
Marina Else of Lime Tree House, Matlock[1]. |
The groom was the son of James Coup of Pinxton (died 1865) and his
wife Elizabeth, nee Caudwell; William Coup was born in Teversal in
1863 and at the time of his marriage was a Hosiery Manufacturers
Overlooker[2].
His bride Marina was the second of the three daughters of John Else
(died 1869) of Warney House and Darley Mill and his wife Ann. Ann
Else had lived at Lime Tree House, Matlock since her husband's death[3].
This photograph would have been taken outside the family home. The
marriage was witnessed by John Else, William Else and Martha Else
- three of Marina's siblings. Below are three enlargements of the
photograph, showing family members.
