My aunt Florence gave me this picture when I visited her in Edinburgh from Canada in 1977. It's the wedding party of George Johnstone Matches and my aunt, Margaret Windwick. I'm not sure where this was taken but the Windwicks lived at Gaitnip at the time. My father, Gordon, is sitting on his father George Budge Windwick's knee in front. Florence is in the middle, front, holding her father's arm.

I have photographs of the same people. My grandmother was Jean Windwick. Her sisters were Catherine, Florence, Winnifred, and I think Margerat. She had two brothers. She married Alexander Reid and emigrated to Canada in the early 1900's. She passed away, as did my father, George Winwick Reid before I had a chance to find out who all these people were. If you can help in any way it would be greatly appreciated.
