I recently came across this photograph of a couple celebrating their Golden Wedding in 1931.  Is anyone researching this family?

Golden Wedding John & Emily VENN of Brent Knoll

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was published in the Weston Gazette with this caption " A familiy group of the nine children and numerous grandchildren of Mr & Mrs Venn of Brent Knoll who celebrated their golden wedding in April".

According to the 1911 census they actually had 10 children but one had died.  John VENN was born in Wick St Lawrence in about 1856 and our transcriptions show that they were married at Wick St Lawrence on the 12th April 1881.  He was christened at Wick St Lawrence in 1856 the son of James & Martha VENN. 

Does anyone recognise their family members in this photograph or can add any information about them.
