Historical information

Ethel Bersey married James Wishart in 1910.
Note: The bride in this photograph was originally identified as Ethel Bersey's sister Florence (Flossie) Bersey, but this seems unlikely as Flossie died in 1906 and did not marry.
A second copy of this photograph is Registration no. 1534.
