All these names are derived from a newspaper cutting saved by my grandmother, Valencia Ann Harper Olsen (née Penney) of the wedding of Herbert Gillies Penney and Lottie Affleck on Saturday 11 December 1909. Joyce and William Affleck have been most helpful, confirming what I had thought and supplying much new information. If you are a Penney (from South Shields) or an Affleck (from Gateshead) and are able to shed more light, I would be most grateful.
