[Harold was Stephen's brother. I do not know who the Minister was, ie., what denomination (poss. Methodist or Presbyterian) or if they married in a church or in the Minister's 'parlor'(likely), as the certificate is not that specific. I do not know who Reka de Bloomwas, but she must have been one of Grandma's friends whom she brought asher witness/bridesmaid. I wonder if she could be in any of those photos from Grandma's girlhood, or if it would be possible to track the de Bloom family down to see if they have any photos to compare.I also wonder if Grandma's parents approved of her marriage. - d. sweet]
