Brian & Martina on their wedding day
*****
Brian and Martina first met in Coventry their teens,
cycling over six miles each way through city and country lanes
in order to meet! They married on 30th June 1956 at Hill
Street Gospel Hall, Coventry and soon after moved to
Shropshire before later moving back ultimately to Warwickshire
in the West Midlands where they still live. They have two
children, Pamela and Michael and three granddaughters, Becky,
Beth and Isabelle.
*****
Brian and Martina joined the Clan MacThomas Society in
the early 1990's and have attended many gatherings with
friends and family members. They are spending this happy event
at sea on a Baltic cruise with close friends.
