                                   Lydia and Arthur HITCHCOX were Emily's parents.

                       Here they are at the wedding of their daughter Bertha in 1899.


                                                Here is the complete photo below.

L-R back row: Charles T Williams, lady, man, lady, groom John Pedlow, bride Bertha Hitchcox, man, lady with feather on hat, John's father?
Middle row sitting: Lydia Hitchcox, Arthur Hitchcox, bridesmaid1, bridesmaid 2, John's mother?
Front row on grass: Dorie & Mainie Williams with their mum Emily, baby Lydie Beck, Kate Williams, Philip Williams.

The unknown folk in the picture are probably relatives. The bridesmaids could be Fanny & Phoebe Hitchcox. Not sure where Fred Williams is, he would be aged approx 14. I love that there are three generations of my forebears in this old photo - my great grandma Kate, her parents Charles & Emily Williams and also Emily's parents Arthur & Lydia Hitchcox. The Pedlow family were from Oamaru I think.
