    • Photo labeled as Ellen Brereton’s marriage to Thomas Gladstone Turner.  The old lady (front right) with big chin is Esther Eddowes.  Left of her is my grandmother Elsie Brereton (Bridesmaid, aged 21).  Behind the bride and groom (middle row) is Richard and Lydia Brereton. Then to the right of them it could be Ann Hale.
      The man in the Scottish berry is most likely Tomks father, John Turner (born in Penrith).

      Plenty of family members here, but who is who?
